Project offers new step toward study of emergence, ‘materials by design,’ and future nanomagnets
LOS ALAMOS, NM, July 15, 2021— Using a D-Wave quantum-annealing computer as a testbed, scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have shown that it is possible to isolate so-called emergent magnetic monopoles, a class of quasiparticles, creating a new approach to developing “materials by design.”
