53-Qubit Quantum Simulator Observes Quantum Magnetism in Action
COLLEGE PARK, Md., Jan. 2, 2018 — Two independent teams of scientists have used more than 50 interacting atomic quantum bits (qubits) to mimic magnetic quantum matter, setting what they believe to be a new record for quantum simulation. In recent years, scientists have controlled 10 to 20 atomic qubits in small-scale quantum simulations. As the basis for its quantum simulation, a research team from the University of Maryland (UMD) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) used up to 53 individual
