Trapped-Ion Quantum Computer Simulates Gluon String Breaking
Researchers at Duke University have used a trapped-ion quantum computer to model string breaking, the process by which the strong force creates new quark-antiquark pairs. The results, published in Nature Physics, suggest that the standard theory of string breaking needs modification, with the process beginning at the edges of the string rather than uniformly.
