Trapped-ion quantum computers are quantum devices in which trapped ions vibrate together and are fully isolated from the external environment. These computers can be particularly useful for investigating and realizing various quantum physics states.
Researchers at NIST/University of Maryland and Duke University have recently used a trapped-ion quantum computer to realize two measurement-induced quantum phases, namely the pure phase and mixed or coding phase during a purification phase transition. Their findings, published in a paper in Nature Physics, contribute to the experimental understanding of many-body quantum systems.
To measure the purification phase transition first outlined by Gullans and Huse, the researchers had to average data collected over several random circuits. In addition, the measurements they collected included both unitary and projective measurements.
According to theoretical predictions, the purification phase transition probed by the team should have emerged at a critical point, resembling a fault-tolerant threshold. Noel and her colleagues carried out their experiments on random circuits that were optimized to work well with their ion-trap quantum computer. This allowed them to observe the different phases of purification using a relatively small system.
Using their trapped-ion quantum computer, the team was able to probe both the pure phase of the purification phase transition and the mixed or coding phase. In the first of these states, the system is rapidly projected to a pure state, which is related to the measurement outcomes. In the second, the system's initial state is partly encoded into a quantum error correcting coding space, which retains the system's memory of its original conditions for a longer time.

Highly specialized scientific paper that 99.9999999% of population won’t be able to understand. Having too much time on your hands and polluting the bandwidth for fun?
I still have to contend with that infernal and evil software.
Supposedly the replacement is supposedly under review. At least it isn’t a frontline application. It hosts a bunch of databases from an older more civilized time.
Cool!! Is this the Kardashian website?? Or Amber Heard??
I never ran into those.
Might have heard of them.
It will be a great day for me when the Notes box is deactivated for good.
LOL I thought that! I was going to pass up on clicking on this thread but just couldn’t help myself. No, I did not understand much!
Lotus Improv was Lotus’ next generation spreadsheet for Steve Jobs’ NeXT Computer. It was supposed to be the killer app that put NeXT on the map. It was interesting because in stead of starting with a limitless spreadsheet, it started with a single cell, and did away with the letter/number axis naming convention.
Critical acclamation did not translate into sales.

Is it ion trapping season already?
I sense a disturbance in the force.
I love that shirt! Especially the fluffy ruffles between!
Heisenberg you bastard?

As the world goes to hell.
same goes for trapped ions vibrating together
