“So what is the goddamn solution???” It’s on page four: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2104.05122.pdf It might not mean much to you unless you take a deep excursion into rigorous math with Dirac notation and Hilbert spaces and God-knows-what. The quanta magazine article is there for you if you’re somewhat generally interested and don’t have years to invest in study.

The 1779 Euler puzzle: "Six army regiments each have six officers of six different ranks. Can the 36 officers be arranged in a 6-by-6 square so that no row or column repeats a rank or regiment?" Euler said it's impossible. The 1960 proof by mathematicians and computers: "It's impossible."[0] The 2022 solution(?): "In a paper posted online and submitted to Physical Review Letters, a group of quantum physicists in India and Poland demonstrates that it is possible to arrange 36 officers in a way that fulfills Euler’s criteria — so long as the officers can have a quantum mixture of ranks and…
