Theoretical nuclear and particle physicists wield quantum field theory in their efforts to understand interactions between many particles or the behavior of particles with extremely large energies. The calculations involved are no easy feats. Even the world’s biggest supercomputer would never be able to model it exactly. Recently, a growing group of scientists has started investigating the potential of quantum computers to approach these calculations in a completely new way. With a fully functioning quantum computer, a lot of the approximations could be avoided, and the quantum nature of the universe could be modeled with true quantum hardware.
