NP Highlights

Two gold ions (Au) moving in opposite directions close to the speed of light (v≈c) are each surrounded by a cloud of real photons (γ). When these photons collide, they create a matter-antimatter pair: an electron (e-) and positron (e+).
Scientists find strong evidence for the long-predicted Breit-Wheeler effect—generating matter and antimatter from collisions of real photons.
The rodeo algorithm shakes off all quantum energy states (E) until only the desired energy state remains.
The new “rodeo algorithm” approach for preparing energy states of complex systems on a quantum computer is exponentially faster than other algorithms.
