A quantum computer has accurately reproduced real experimental data on an unprecedented scale. Classical computers are faster and more accurate than the quantum variety. Even so, the simulation ...

Researchers at the quantum computing firm Quantinuum used a new Helios-1 quantum computer to simulate a mathematical model that has long been used to study superconductivity. These simulations are not ...

Studying and designing novel materials is a central application of quantum mechanics. Chemists, materials scientists, and physicists focus on subtle interactions in quantum materials and to uncover ...

Quantum simulation of particle physics reached a milestone this week: IBM, Duke, and QuEra quantum computers each independently ran real-time gluon string-breaking, the process that creates every ...

An illustration of a quantum system that was simulated by both classical and quantum computers. The highlighted sections show how the influence of the system’s components is confined to nearby ...

Physicists have spent decades arguing over whether our universe is a fundamental reality or a kind of cosmic software, and the debate has just taken a sharp turn. A group of researchers now say they ...
