How many moves does it take to solve a Rubik’s cube if it is quantum? Shutterstock/Domanin
A quantum Rubik’s cube would be infinitely more complex than the traditional puzzle, but mathematical modelling shows it wouldn’t be unsolvable.
In the summer of 2022, and at the University of Colorado Boulder and their colleagues made a bet: how many possible states would a quantum Rubik’s cube have? To even make their guesses, they first had to define what a quantum Rubik’s cube would entail.
