Hidden dance of subatomic particles revealed using new quantum computer

SMRTR summary

A new quantum computer using "qudits" instead of qubits has successfully simulated the interactions of subatomic particles in two dimensions. This breakthrough allows researchers to study quantum electrodynamics more accurately, observing electromagnetic interactions and magnetic fields between charged particles. The technology expands on previous one-dimensional simulations and brings scientists closer to modeling fundamental physics in three dimensions. Researchers believe this approach could eventually help study the strong nuclear force within atoms.
