SCIENTISTS USED A QUANTUM COMPUTER TO SIMULATE PARTICLES SEEMINGLY "POPPING INTO EXISTENCE," OPENING A NEW WINDOW INTO THE PHYSICS OF THE EARLY UNIVERSE. RESEARCHERS AT DUKE UNIVERSITY USED A 13-ION QUANTUM SIMULATOR TO RECREATE A PARTICLE-FORMING PROCESS LINKED TO THE EXTREME PHYSICS OF THE EARLY UNIVERSE. THIS BREAKTHROUGH, PUBLISHED IN NATURE PHYSICS, SHOWS HOW TRAPPED ION QUANTUM COMPUTERS COULD HELP INVESTIGATE HOW MATTER FORMED AND EVOLVED AFTER THE BIG BANG. THIS RESEARCH OPENS UP NEW AVENUES FOR UNDERSTANDING COSMIC ORIGINS. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON USING QUANTUM COMPUTERS FOR FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICS RESEARCH?
