(Credit: Quantinuum)</p> </span> </div> <p>The findings highlight just a slice of what these devices may be capable of, said study co-author Rahul Nandkishore.</p><p>鈥淪mall-scale quantum devices are rapidly coming online,鈥 said Nandkishore, associate professor in the Department of Physics at CU 麻豆影院. 鈥淭hat really prompts the question: 鈥榃hat are they good for?鈥欌</p><h2>Why quantum?</h2><p>The answer: A lot, potentially.</p><p>Scientists believe that quantum computers could one day perform a range of tasks with a speed that鈥檚 unheard of today鈥攕uch as discovering new drugs to treat human illnesses or exploring how atoms and electrons interact at very small scales.</p><p>But building a quantum computer that works as desired isn鈥檛 an easy goal. Unlike your home laptop, which runs on bits, or switches that flip to either zero or one, quantum computers hinge on a concept called qubits. Qubits, which can be made from atoms or other small objects, take on values of zero, one, or through the strangeness of quantum physics, both simultaneously.</p><p>Qubits are also notoriously difficult to control, said study co-author David Stephen, a physicist at Quantinuum.</p><p>To explore a new way of lassoing these quantum entities, the research assembled a network of qubits into what physicists call a 鈥渢opological鈥 phase of matter鈥攁 bit like a clump of very small knots. That arrangement allowed the team to play a simple mathematical game without disrupting the quantum computer in the process, a major challenge for this kind of technology.</p><p>鈥淚n principle, there was nothing too surprising about this experiment. It worked exactly as we thought it would, in theory,鈥 Stephen said. 鈥淏ut the fact that it did work so well can be seen as a benchmark for this quantum computer.鈥</p> <div class="align-right image_style-small_500px_25_display_size_"> <div class="imageMediaStyle small_500px_25_display_size_"> <img loading="lazy" src="/today/sites/default/files/styles/small_500px_25_display_size_/public/2025-04/Nandkishore_headshot.png?itok=adMJEpF1" width="375" height="563" alt="Rahul Nandkishore headshot"> </div> <span class="media-image-caption"> <p>Rahul Nandkishore</p> </span> </div> <h2>Reading minds</h2><p>Quantum games have been around for a long time, Nandkishore added, and even predate the world鈥檚 first quantum computer. They are mathematical exercises that allow scientists to explore some of the more out-there possibilities of quantum physics, which can also be tested experimentally.</p><p>Physicist David Mermin popularized the idea of quantum games in 1990. In a typical quantum game, two or more hypothetical human players receive prompts, then take turns filling out a grid with the numbers zero and one. (Picture something a little like sudoku). The players 鈥渨in鈥 the game if their arrangement of zeros and ones completes a certain mathematical pattern.</p><p>There鈥檚 just one problem, Nandkishore said. They players have to sit in different rooms. And they aren鈥檛 telepathic.</p><p>鈥淭hey can agree on whatever strategy they want in advance, but they can鈥檛 communicate during the game,鈥 said study co-author Oliver Hart, a postdoctoral associate in physics at CU 麻豆影院. 鈥淚t鈥檚 relatively straightforward to show that there鈥檚 no strategy that wins the game with certainty.鈥 &nbsp;</p><p>Which is where quantum physics comes in.</p><p>Mermin proposed that, in theory, you could give each player one of a collection of entangled particles. Entangled particles have interacted in such a way that measuring one will affect the outcome of measuring the other. That鈥檚 true even if the particles are separated, say in the next room (or next city) over. In a quantum game, players can use these correlations to coordinate their answers. It鈥檚 a feat so seemingly improbable that scientists nicknamed it quantum 鈥減seudotelepathy.鈥</p><p>In practice, entangling particles inside a quantum computer, isn鈥檛 so simple.</p><p>Even the slightest disturbance, such as a minute increase in temperature, can snap the link between two particles. Those sorts of errors only stack up the more qubits you add to a quantum computer.</p><h2>Quantum knotwork</h2><p>Nandkishore and his colleagues wanted to play quantum games in a different way鈥攐ne that might be easier to win in the real world.</p><p>To do that, the group turned to Quantinuum鈥檚 System Model H1. This device runs off a chip that can fit in the palm of your hand. It employs lasers to control a collection of as many as 20 qubits (in this case, ytterbium ions trapped above the surface of the chip).</p><p>In the current study, the researchers sent the computer commands online. They arranged the ytterbium ions into a two-dimensional grid so that they generated an unusual quantum structure: Instead of having just two or three ions that were entangled, the entire collection of ions exhibited an underlying pattern of entanglement, a 鈥渢opological鈥 order. It鈥檚 almost as if the qubits had tied themselves into knots.</p><p>And those knots, Nandkishore said, aren鈥檛 easy to unravel.</p><p>鈥淲e have order that's associated with this global pattern of entanglement across the whole system,鈥 he said. 鈥淚f you make a local disturbance, it shouldn鈥檛 mess it up.鈥</p><p>The researchers took on the role of quantum game players and experimented with making measurements of various qubits inside H1-1. They showed that they were able to achieve quantum pseudotelepathy, and win the game, roughly 95% of the time or more. The researchers were able to win the game consistently even when they added outside disturbances and additional hypothetical players measuring additional qubits.</p><p>Nandkishore noted that, on its own, the team鈥檚 game probably won鈥檛 solve any real-world problems. But it reveals that today鈥檚 quantum computers may already be able to grow bigger without losing their edge, at least in a few cases.</p><p>鈥淭his study is proof of principle that there is something that quantum devices can already do that outperforms the best available classical strategy, and in a way that鈥檚 robust and scalable,鈥 he said.</p></div> </div> <div class="ucb-article-content-media ucb-article-content-media-below"> <div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--from-library paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div> <div class="ucb-article-secondary-text"> <div><div class="ucb-box ucb-box-title-hidden ucb-box-alignment-none ucb-box-style-fill ucb-box-theme-darkgray"><div class="ucb-box-inner"><div class="ucb-box-title">&nbsp;</div><div class="ucb-box-content"><p class="hero"><i class="fa-solid fa-atom">&nbsp;</i>&nbsp;<strong>Beyond the story</strong></p><p>Our quantum impact by the numbers:</p><ul><li>60-plus years as the regional epicenter for quantum research</li><li>4 Nobel prizes in physics awarded to university researchers</li><li>No. 11 quantum physics program in the nation and co-leader on the new Quantum Incubator facility</li></ul><p><a class="ucb-link-button ucb-link-button-gold ucb-link-button-default ucb-link-button-regular" href="https://www.linkedin.com/school/cuboulder/posts/?feedView=all" rel="nofollow"><span class="ucb-link-button-contents">Follow CU 麻豆影院 on LinkedIn</span></a></p></div></div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div>A team of physicists from CU 麻豆影院 teamed up with a group from the Colorado-based company Quantinuum to show how devices called quantum computers can outcompete traditional computers鈥攁t least, in some circumstances.</div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Related Articles</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Thu, 17 Apr 2025 22:07:04 +0000 Daniel William Strain 54421 at /today CU 麻豆影院 shines for World Quantum Day in Colorado /today/2025/04/15/cu-boulder-shines-world-quantum-day-colorado <span>CU 麻豆影院 shines for World Quantum Day in Colorado</span> <span><span>Megan Maneval</span></span> <span><time datetime="2025-04-15T11:23:46-06:00" title="Tuesday, April 15, 2025 - 11:23">Tue, 04/15/2025 - 11:23</time> </span> <div> <div class="imageMediaStyle focal_image_wide"> <img loading="lazy" src="/today/sites/default/files/styles/focal_image_wide/public/2025-04/quantum-stock.jpeg?h=abc34b67&amp;itok=58tp79ml" width="1200" height="800" alt="illustration of quantum science"> </div> </div> <div role="contentinfo" class="container ucb-article-categories" itemprop="about"> <span class="visually-hidden">Categories:</span> <div class="ucb-article-category-icon" aria-hidden="true"> <i class="fa-solid fa-folder-open"></i> </div> <a href="/today/taxonomy/term/6"> Science &amp; Technology </a> </div> <div class="ucb-article-content ucb-striped-content"> <div class="container"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--article-content paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="ucb-article-text" itemprop="articleBody"> <div><p>CU 麻豆影院 has made the most of the last year of advances in quantum science and technology.
