      abstract     = {The LUXE experiment (LASER Und XFEL Experiment) is a new
                      experiment in planning at DESY Hamburg, which will study
                      Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) at the strong-field frontier.
                      In this regime, QED is non-perturbative. This manifests
                      itself in the creation of physical electron-positron pairs
                      from the QED vacuum. LUXE intends to measure the positron
                      production rate in this unprecedented regime by using, among
                      others, a silicon tracking detector. The large number of
                      expected positrons traversing the sensitive detector layers
                      results in an extremely challenging combinatorial problem,
                      which can become computationally very hard for classical
                      computers. This paper presents a preliminary study to
                      explore the potential of quantum computers to solve this
                      problem and to reconstruct the positron trajectories from
                      the detector energy deposits. The reconstruction problem is
                      formulated in terms of a quadratic unconstrained binary
                      optimisation. Finally, the results from the quantum
                      simulations are discussed and compared with traditional
                      classical track reconstruction algorithms.},
