LANL: Emergent Magnetic Monopoles Isolated Using Quantum-Annealing Computer
Researchers have used a D-Wave quantum-annealing computer as a testbed to examine the behavior of emergent magnetic monopoles. Here, emergent magnetic monopoles traverse a lattice of qubits in a superconducting quantum annealer. Nonzero flux programmed around the boundary creates a trapped monopole in the degenerate ground state. Courtesy/LANL
LANL News:
Using a D-Wave quantum-annealing computer as a testbed, scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) have shown that it is possible to isolate so-called emergent magnetic monopoles, a class of quasiparticles, creating Read More
