Physicists reveal how to cope with 'frustration': Quantum simulation can be scaled to large systems

Wednesday, June 2, 2010 - 21:41 in Physics & Chemistry

"Frustrated" systems -- those in which the interactions among the components have no single minimum-energy state -- are of great interest for problems from neural networks and protein folding to social structures and magnetism. But they have been difficult to model. Now a team of physicists has created a scalable quantum-mechanical model.
