Totally amazed at the level of this quantamagazine article. Superb stuff. They even manage to explain string-nets. I keep thinking that you could make an interesting iPhone game out of this. Actually it&#x27;s nice to read a bit of a summary of the field, including the history. Here is another good article discussing the open problem of the existence of a quantum memory [1]. The story goes like this: your hard-drive stores bits of information in little magnets. That is magnetic order, which falls into the symmetry-breaking…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1411.6643/">Paper and discussion history</a>.
