Particle collision in large accelerators is simulated by using a quantum computer

In 2011 the UPV/EHU’s QUTIS Group published in the Physical Review Letters an innovative theoretical proposal to reproduce particle collisions like those taking place in large accelerators but without having to use these huge infrastructures. Now, with the collaboration of the laboratory of Prof Kihwan Kim of the University of Tsinghua in Beijing they have confirmed the validity of the proposal by using a trapped-ion quantum simulator. This has been reported in Nature Communications.
