LBNL researchers use IBM Heron quantum processor to simulate quark binding process
By
Mohamed Abdel-Kareem
Summary
A research collaboration led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) has successfully simulated hadronization—the quantum process where quarks bind via the strong nuclear force to form composite particles like protons and neutrons—on IBM's Heron quantum processor using 104 qubits. Led by LBNL research scientist Anthony Ciavarella, the work demonstrates a practical application of quantum computing to fundamental particle physics problems that are intractable for classical computers.
