Quantum Algorithm Predicts Particle Behavior with Unprecedented Precision

An international team led by the Institute of Corpuscular Physics (IFIC, UV-CSIC) in Spain has developed an algorithm that predicts the behavior of elementary particles in accelerators, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, with enhanced precision. Based on quantum vacuum fluctuations, the method was tested to predict the behavior of the Higgs boson on a quantum computer, achieving unprecedented detail. This new approach provides more accurate mathematical representations of physical processes by incorporating the principle of causality. The algorithm's success on a quantum computer validates its capacity to tackle advanced theoretical physics problems, opening avenues for quantum computing in particle simulations and high-energy physics applications. This advancement marks a significant step in exploring particle physics frontiers and developing quantum computing applications.
