Summary
Researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and IBM Quantum Network have successfully mapped a simplified version of quantum chromodynamics (QCD₂) — the theory describing the strong nuclear force — onto IBM's 100+ qubit Nighthawk processor. The demonstration measured attractive interactions between particles and probed non-perturbative particle dynamics. A separate effort on the same system explored quantum-based defenses against cyberattacks, showcasing the dual potential of current quantum hardware for fundamental physics and cybersecurity applications.
