Smooth sliding of rings on a doughnut replaces complex quantum operations.

Quantum bits can be imagined as little rings rolling on a doughnut. Scientists have found a way to describe all operations on them as smooth sliding and turning of the torus. It turns out that entanglement is when two doughnuts stick together and the rings begin to move as one. This geometric view is not only elegant but will also help build fault-tolerant quantum computers in the future, simply by ensuring the rings don't slip off the path.
🎯 The geometric shift after a full loop — an analogue of the Berry phase — is already used in prototypes of quantum gyroscopes and gravitational antennas.
