Applying quantum computing to a particle process
by Glenn Roberts Jr., Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory | February 12, 2021 A team of researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) used a quantum computer to successfully simulate an aspect of particle collisions that is typically neglected in high-energy physics experiments, such as those that occur at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. The quantum ... Continue Reading »
