Scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder and Quantinuum conducted an experiment on a real quantum computer to explore the potential of quantum computing.
The researchers used lasers to move and control 20 ytterbium ions to create a topological phase structure.
Using this setup, they played a mathematical game on the qubits, which showed that topologically entangled qubits allowed them to win the game about 95% of the time.
This experiment demonstrates the capabilities of current quantum computers and shows the potential for future advancements in quantum computing.
