We solve the nuclear two-body and three-body bound states via quantum simulations of pionless effective field theory on a lattice in position space. While the employed lattice remains small, the usage of local Hamiltonians including two- and three-body forces ensures that the number of Pauli terms scales linearly with increasing numbers of lattice sites. We use an adaptive ansatz grown from unitary coupled cluster theory (ADAPT-VQE) to parametrize the ground states of the deuteron and 3He, compute their corresponding energies, and analyze the scaling of the required computational resources.
