"Simulated Tracking of Entangled Quarks Unlocks Quantum Code"

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory and Stony Brook University have used quantum simulations to study the entanglement of quarks and antiquarks produced in high-energy particle collisions. Their research, published in Physical Review Letters, revealed persistent strong entanglement between particles in jets of secondary particles, providing a foundation for testing these predictions in nuclear physics experiments. The study also demonstrates the potential of using quantum code on classical supercomputers to perform quantum calculations until more practical quantum computers become available.
