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:
“When we run over libraries persuaded of these principles, what havoc must we make? If we take in our hand any volume; of divinity or school metaphysics, for instance; let us ask, Does it contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number? No. Does it contain any experimental reasoning concerning matter of fact and existence? No. Commit it then to the flames; for it can contain nothing but sophistry and illusion.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“A personality is an indefinite quantum of traits which is subject to constant flux, change, and growth from the birth of the individual in the world to his death. A character, on the other hand, is a fixed and definite quantum of traits which, though it may be interpreted with slight differences from age to age and actor to actor, is nevertheless in its essentials forever fixed.”
—Hubert C. Heffner (1901–1985)
