An international team from the UAE, Russia, Austria, and Germany has made a discovery that will contribute to the accelerated development of more advanced quantum processors, enabling the solution of complex problems in logistics, cryptography, and machine learning. Researchers have confirmed that they discovered new properties in one of the key theories in quantum technology, and notably, the results of the team's work were published in the scientific journal "Physical Review Letters."
In this context, Alexei Fedorov, the director of the Institute of Physics and Quantum Engineering at the "MISiS" University of Science and Technology and head of the "Quantum Information Technology" scientific team at the Russian Quantum Center, pointed out that "quantum computers, unlike classical computers, use principles of quantum mechanics to perform calculations and thus can solve the most complex problems."
The researchers in the international scientific team discovered, for the first time, that one of the well-studied key theories in quantum technology (the Schwinger model proposed by American physicist Julian Schwinger in 1951) possesses properties similar to certain mathematical shapes (fractals), which repeat their structure on smaller and smaller scales.
Fedorov confirmed that this discovery has enabled researchers to propose a new effective computational method allowing them to create new, more advanced quantum processors capable of performing complex calculations.
