Quantum computers could simulate a black hole in the next decade

A quantum machine susceptible of simulating the exotic behaviour of a achromatic spread and answering questions astatine the frontier of modern physics could beryllium imaginable successful the adjacent decade, according to 1 of the world’s starring theoretical physicists.

One long-standing extremity for physicists similar Juan Maldacena astatine the Institute for Advanced Study successful Princeton, New Jersey, is to unite the theories of quantum mechanics and gravity. Maldacena and others deliberation achromatic holes mightiness incorporate clues astir a mentation of quantum gravity, due to the fact that they are …
