IONQ Inc., in collaboration with the University of Washington's InQubator for Quantum Simulation and the U.S. Department of Energy's Quantum Science Center, has announced groundbreaking results from the first known quantum computer simulation of a process called "neutrinoless double-beta decay." This simulation has profound implications for understanding the universe's imbalance between matter and antimatter. Utilizing IonQ's forefront trapped-ion quantum computers, the research team employed a co-designed approach to efficiently map the problem onto systems using 32 qubits, with additional qubits for error mitigation. By simulating this rare process, which has never been observed in nature, the study validates the use of quantum modeling in nuclear and particle physics and sets the stage for exploring other symmetry-breaking phenomena. The full findings have already been presented and are available at https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.05757.
