Using a device known as a trapped-ion quantum simulator, the researchers were able to simulate a system comprised of 23 ytterbium ions (i.e., charged atoms) arranged into a 1D chain. This device ...

He started at Martin Marietta (now Lockheed Martin) in aerospace applications, including the space station and other spacecraft power systems. He then focused on modeling and simulation ...

After decades of looking, researchers have seen a string of atoms go through a 1D ... their simulator makes such exotic states of matter possible, it could be used to study theoretical systems ...
