Canadian firm D-Wave has achieved a "significant step toward reaching the goal of quantum simulation", after its quantum computer accurately simulated the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition. King and Amin are among 29 authors of the Nature paper, titled “Observation of Topological Phenomena in a Programmable Lattice of 1,800 Qubits.” The team at D-Wave's Quantum Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in Waterloo, Ontario, used their machine to simulate the transition from one state of matter (fermion) to another (the boson), which is what happens when
