Scientists have found out what lies behind the superdiffusion.

Trinity quantum physicists, in collaboration with IBM Dublin, have successfully simulated superdiffusion on a quantum computer. This discovery was the first step in carrying out complex calculations of quantum transport on quantum equipment. Over time, such research will provide new insights into condensed matter and materials science.

The study was published in the leading journal Nature NPJ Quantum Information and is one of the first results of the TCD-IBM pre-doctoral fellowship program. The quantum computer used in this study contains 27 superconducting qubits and is located in the IBM laboratory in New York.

Trinity Professor John Gold, who led the study, emphasized the significance of the work, explaining that simulating complex quantum systems on classical computers is an impossible task. He noted that a system of 300 qubits would require more coefficients than the atoms in the observable universe.

The main achievement of the work is to simulate the long-term behavior of a system of small connected magnets that mimic more complex materials and are used to understand magnetism. The scientists described a regime in which superdiffusion occurs due to a control process called the Cardard-Parisi-Zhang equation.

Nathan Keenan, a scientist at IBM-Trinity, spoke about the complexities of programming quantum computers, noting that the main problem is noise and interference.

IBM's Director of Research in the UK and Ireland, Juan Bernabe-Moreno, highlighted the long-term partnership with Trinity and satisfaction with the results.

Trinity continues to be at the forefront of the quantum simulation era, actively collaborating with companies such as IBM, Microsoft, and others.
