Scientists applied a hybrid quantum algorithm to the Ising model—a problem of finding the most stable state of many interacting parts. A processor of 104 superconducting qubits found configurations with lower energy than the classical annealing method. Calculations show that with 100 qubits, a quant

New research shows that small temperature fluctuations acted like well-timed pushes on a swing, amplifying the production of axions many times over. As a result, the likely mass of dark matter particles shifts into a region where they haven't been searched for yet. This changes the search strategy.
