IBM quantum computer accurately simulates magnetic material — and verified against real physics experiment

For the first time, IBM researchers and their partners from leading universities have succeeded in performing a quantum simulation of a magnetic material whose accuracy has been tested against the material's behavior in nature, an important step towards making quantum computing a practical tool in materials science.
