  The fast development of quantum technologies over the last decades has
offered a glimpse to a future where the quantum properties of multi-particle
systems might be more fully understood. In particular, quantum computing might
prove crucial to explore many aspects of high energy physics unaccessible to
classical methods. In this talk, we will describe how one can use digital
quantum computers to study the evolution of QCD jets in quark gluons plasmas.
We construct a quantum circuit to study single particle evolution in a dense
QCD medium. Focusing on the jet quenching parameter $\hat q $, we present some
early numerical results for a small quantum circuit. Future extensions of this
strategy are also addressed.
