Abstract: It has recently been shown that vacuum expectation values and Feynman path integrals can be regularized using the Fourier integral operator ζ-function, yet the physical meaning of these ζ-regularized objects was unknown. Here, we show that ζ-regularized vacuum expectations appear as continuum limits using a certain discretization scheme. Furthermore, we study the rate of convergence for the discretization scheme using the example of a one-dimensional hydrogen atom in (−π, π) which we evaluate classically, using the Rigetti quantum virtual machine and on the Rigetti 8Q quantum chip “Agave” device. We also provide the free radiation field as an example for the computation of ζ-regularized vacuum expectation values in a gauge theory.
