An international team of scientists has observed a never-before-seen exotic phase of matter on a quantum processor using Google’s 58-qubit AI chip Willow, which previously suggested we may live in a multiverse.
The research team from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in Germany, New Jersey’s Princeton University and Google Quantum AI, realized a Floquet topologically ordered state for the very first time.

Something tells me the next few decades are going to get really weird.

That is awesome. I would love the opportunity to research and work on stuff like this.

These types of headlines have caused untold damage to scientific education imo. They’ve run a simulation of an extremely complex system (a bunch of particles driven by an external field/light source) in 5 minutes and this would realistically take months for a potent supercomputer to even approximate a solution for (not a septillion years as per the article…we know how to approximate things). This is exceedingly impressive, it’s really quite the milestone, but it’s nothing to do with multiverse stuff…there could be better ways of making this stuff still look cool while talking about the actual stuff

I don’t really get it but okay, I’m not a quantum scientist. I assume the chip is in some sort of machine that can detect this stuff? It isn’t the chip itself just using maths to simulate the possibility?
