Quantum Simulators

An exotic state of matter originally hypothesized almost 50 years ago has been observed for the first time. Created by Harvard researchers, this material called quantum spin liquid could eventually help improve quantum computers.

Is our entire universe just a computer simulation? Theoretical physicists believe they’ve found proof that our universe is far too complex to be captured in any simulation. According to the researchers, the hypothesis is done in by gravitational anomalies, tiny “twists” in the fabric of spacetime.

Australian researchers have managed to create a CNOT quantum logic gate, the basic building block of a quantum computer, by modifying a standard silicon transistor.

NIST researchers have developed a quantum simulator which can be utilized to study a wide range of physical and biological problems.

NIST researchers have developed the world's first two-qubit programmable quantum computer.
