One step beyond
But now, says Halimeh, quantum computers are slated to be “the major player” in understanding what happens in the hearts of particle colliders.
When very energetic ions get smashed together in a collider, they produce showers of particles that hit detectors – the data is like the last few frames of a movie, and physicists can use it to reverse engineer what happened in the frames before. But quantum computers could let us start with the collision and understand what happens next, he says.
