Boffins create 50 qubits quantum simulators

Teach your quantum cat to do the accounts

Two teams of researchers have published papers in Nature detailing how they created unprecedented quantum simulators consisting of over 50 qubits.

This means that the experimental quantum computers are reaching a point where they can model physics that is too complex for the most powerful conventional supercomputers.

Quantum simulators are a special type of quantum computer that uses qubits to simulate complex interactions between particles. Qubits are the informational medium of quantum computers, analogous to a bit in an ordinary computer. Yet rather than existing as a 1 or 0, as is the case in a conventional bit, a qubit can exist in some superposition of both states at the same time.
