LHC's Quantum Leap: Top Quarks Exhibit 'Magic' Crucial for Quantum Computing

Researchers from Queen Mary University of London and the University of Adelaide have discovered that top quarks produced at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) exhibit a quantum property known as "magic," essential for building powerful quantum computers. This unexpected connection, detailed in Physical Review D, suggests the LHC could serve as a platform for exploring quantum mechanics, potentially accelerating progress in quantum technology and bridging high-energy physics with quantum information theory. This breakthrough could lead to revolutionary advances in fields such as drug discovery and materials science. For more information, refer to the original publication in Physical Review D.
