When quan­tum par­ti­cles fly like bees

A quantum system with only 51 charged atoms can take on more than two quadrillion different states. Calculating the system’s behavior is child’s play for a quantum simulator. But verifying the result is almost impossible, even with today’s supercomputers. A research team has now shown how these systems can be verified using equations formulated in the 18th century.
