Experimental Determination With Quantum Algorithm
A paper claiming that an experimental implementation of a quantum algorithm solving R(m,2) for 3 ≤ m ≤ 8 has been recently pre-published. The research team lead by Zhengbing Bian, of D-Wave Systems used 84 qubits, with a total of 28 qubits used for calculation.

Famous quotes containing the words experimental and/or quantum:
“Philosophers of science constantly discuss theories and representation of reality, but say almost nothing about experiment, technology, or the use of knowledge to alter the world. This is odd, because ‘experimental method’ used to be just another name for scientific method.... I hope [to] initiate a Back-to-Bacon movement, in which we attend more seriously to experimental science. Experimentation has a life of its own.”
—Ian Hacking (b. 1936)
“But how is one to make a scientist understand that there is something unalterably deranged about differential calculus, quantum theory, or the obscene and so inanely liturgical ordeals of the precession of the equinoxes.”
—Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
