Quantum Physics May Solve Riemann Hypothesis | Science News
Mathematicians have chased the Riemann hypothesis for over 150 years — a conjecture that prime numbers follow a hidden pattern encoded in the zeros of a mysterious equation. Now, physicists are turning to quantum mechanics, proposing that a specific quantum system could physically mirror this math problem, revealing its secrets through observable phase transitions. If the system shifts unexpectedly, it might prove the hypothesis wrong. Already, their five-qubit experiment outpaces traditional computers at scanning for zeros — and scaling up to 100 qubits could unlock answers beyond current…
