Abstract: We study mathrmSU(3) Yang-Mills theory in (2+1) dimensions based on networks of Wilson lines. With the help of the q deformation, networks respect the (discretized) mathrmSU(3) gauge symmetry as a quantum group, i.e., mathrmSU(3)k, and may enable efficient implementations of the Kogut-Susskind Hamiltonian in quantum and classical algorithms. As a demonstration, we perform a mean-field computation of the groundstate of mathrmSU(3)k Yang-Mills theory, which is in good agreement with the conventional Monte Carlo simulation by taking sufficiently large k. The variational ansatz of the mean-field computation can be represented by the tensor networks called infinite projected entangled pair states. The success of the mean-field computation indicates that the essential features of Yang-Mills theory are well described by tensor networks, so that they may play an important role in bringing quantum simulation of Yang-Mills theory and QCD to the next level.
