Simulations of equations from the Standard Model of particle physics are too difficult for classical supercomputers. In this research, scientists for the first time created scalable quantum circuits to prepare a simulation of the starting state for a particle accelerator collision to test aspects of strong interactions. The researchers first determined these circuits for small systems using classical computers, then scaled the quantum circuits to a large system on more than 100 qubits of IBM鈥檚 quantum computers.

We鈥檝e all heard 鈥淐lick It, or Ticket鈥� as a reminder to buckle up in the car, but 鈥淐lick It and Win It!鈥� appears to be an effective approach for sustaining consistent seatbelt use among drivers. When drivers were promised a share of $125 weekly prize money for maintaining perfect seatbelt use streaks, they established good, long-lasting habits. Driving without a seatbelt decreased 26% relative to the control during the incentive program and was 33% than the control even after the program ended, according to research from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, published in the American Journal of Public Health.

Empa researchers from the nanotech@surfaces laboratory have experimentally recreated another fundamental theoretical model from quantum physics, which goes back to the Nobel Prize laureate Werner Heisenberg. The basis for the successful experiment was a kind of 鈥渜uantum Lego鈥� made of tiny carbon molecules known as nanographenes.
