  The physics of high-energy colliders relies on the knowledge of different
non-perturbative parton correlators, such as parton distribution functions,
that encode the information on universal hadron structure and are thus the main
building blocks of any factorization theorem of the underlying process in such
collision. These functions are given in terms of gauge-invariant light-front
operators, they are non-local in both space and real time, and are thus
intractable by standard lattice techniques due to the well-known sign problem.
In this paper, we propose a quantum algorithm to perform a quantum simulation
of these type of correlators, and illustrate it by considering a space-time
Wilson loop. We discuss the implementation of the quantum algorithm in terms of
quantum gates that are accessible within actual quantum technologies such as
cold atoms setups, trapped ions or superconducting circuits.
