This could yield new insights about the quantum properties of strongly interacting matter such as... view more Credit: Illustration: Andreas Ekström and Yen Strandqvist/Chalmers University of Technology A calculation so complex that it takes twenty years to complete on a powerful desktop computer can now be done in one hour on a regular laptop. Physicist Andreas Ekström at Chalmers University of Technology, together with international research colleagues, has designed a new method to calculate the properties of atomic nuclei incredibly quickly.
