Quantum Materials Simulation Realizing Richard Feynman's Vision

In 1982, Richard Feynman proposed the idea of simulating the quantum physics of complex systems with a programmable quantum computer.

In August 2018, his vision was realized when researchers from D Wave Systems and the Vector Institute demonstrated the simulation of a topological phase transition the subject of the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics in a fully programmable D-Wave 2000Q™ annealing quantum computer.

This complex quantum simulation of materials is a major step toward reducing the need for time-consuming and expensive physical research and development.
