In this talk, I will review recent advances in applying quantum computing to particle physics. Quantum technology offers the prospect to efficiently simulate sign-problem afflicted regimes in lattice field theory, such as the presence of topological terms, chemical potentials, and out-of-equilibrium dynamics. The path towards quantum simulations of (3+1)-dimensional particle physics requires many incremental steps, including algorithmic development, methods for circuit design, and hardware improvement. After reviewing these requirements and recent developments, I will discuss the main challenges and future directions.
