As the rivalry between quantum and classical computing intensifies, scientists are making unexpected discoveries about quantum systems. Classical computers outperformed a quantum computer in simulations of a two-dimensional quantum magnet system, showing unexpected confinement phenomena. This discovery by Flatiron Institute researchers redefines the practical limits of quantum computing and enhances understanding of quantum-classical computational boundaries. [...]
