Aharonov Bohm Effect

Oxford team uses hybrid quantum computer to simulate Aharonov-Bohm effect

Researchers at the University of Oxford used a quantum system combining qubits with quantum oscillators to recreate the Aharonov-Bohm effect, in which a charged particle's quantum phase shifts due to magnetic flux it never physically passes through. In their simulation, this invisible influence caused a modeled particle's motion to halt entirely. The results were published in Nature Physics.
