Researchers explore an intriguing phenomenon in quantum systems, drawing inspiration from a recent quantum computing experiment.
Earlier this year, researchers at the Flatiron Institute’s Center for Computational Quantum Physics (CCQ) announced that they had successfully used a classical computer and sophisticated mathematical models to thoroughly outperform a quantum computer on a task that some thought only quantum computers could solve.
