- Largest Quantum Simulator – U.S. researchers from Harvard and Russian scientists built largest quantum simulator with 51 quantum bits that can simulate interactions between atoms
- How It Was Made – Each qubit made from single rubidium atom, trapped in place with lasers, and programmed by laser beam
- Application – Could aid in drug research by studying how drugs act in human body
- Imperfect Results – Still has high error rate as it can only handle one mathematical model, whereas full quantum computers can achieve lower error rates and produce better results
