Neutrino oscillations in a quantum processor
Carlos A. Argüelles, B. J. P. Jones · Physical Review Research · 2019
In this paper the authors demonstrate the emulation of neutrino oscillations on a quantum processor, directly encoding three-neutrino flavor evolution onto the two-qubit system of a publicly available quantum computer and time-evolving the system analogously to the physical neutrino. Excellent agreement with with the standard classical calculation is found, and extensions to more complex systems including beyond-standard-model physics involving sterile neutrinos, anomalous decoherence, and matter effects are explored.
