Quantum mechanics is full of weird phenomena, but perhaps none as weird as the role measurement plays in the theory. Since a measurement tends to destroy the \u201cquantumness\u201d of a system, it seems to be the mysterious link between the quantum and classical world. And in a large system of quantum bits of information, known as \u201cqubits,\u201d the effect of measurements can induce dramatically new behavior, even driving the emergence of entirely new phases of quantum information.<\/p>\n

This happens when two competing effects come to a head: interactions and measurement. In a quantum system, when the qubits interact with one another, their information becomes shared nonlocally in an \u201centangled state.\u201d But if you measure the system, the entanglement<\/a> is destroyed. The battle between measurement and interactions leads to two distinct phases<\/a>: one where interactions dominate and entanglement is widespread, and one where measurements dominate, and entanglement is suppressed.<\/p>\n

As reported<\/a> in the journal Nature<\/i>, researchers at Google Quantum AI and Stanford University have observed the crossover between these two regimes\u2014known as a \u201cmeasurement-induced phase transition\u201d\u2014in a system of up to 70 qubits. This is by far the largest system in which measurement-induced effects have been explored.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
