Quantum bits made of charged ytterbium atoms kept in a glass and metal chamber

Physics

Quantum computer can simulate infinitely many chaotic particles

Using just a handful of quantum bits, researchers have used a quantum computer to simulate an infinite line of electron-like particles. The technique could be used to better understand the behaviour of molecules in materials

Why we can't always make sense of physics with words alone

We physicists want to give everyone a feel for what we're learning, but the truth is that there is often no intuitive explanation for what our equations and their solutions are telling us, writes Chanda Prescod-Weinstein
