Breakthrough in Quantum Magnetism Simulation Marks Turning Point for Quantum Computing

In a new study published by researchers at quantum computing company Quantinuum and collaborators from Caltech, Fermioniq, EPFL, and the Technical University of Munich, scientists have used Quantinuum’s powerful quantum computer, H2, to simulate a notoriously difficult system—quantum magnetism—in a way that pushes beyond what classical computers can reliably achieve. “Digital quantum computers are much more flexible/universal, but we have paid f…
