An answer to a quantum-physical question provided by the algorithm Melvin has uncovered a hidden link between quantum experiments and the mathematical field of Graph Theory. Researchers from the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the University of Vienna found the deep connection between experimental quantum physics and this mathematical theory in the study of Melvin's unusual solutions, which lies beyond human intuition. They now report in the journal "Physical Review Letters". Phenomena of quantum physics are perfectly computable - but often elude human logic. In the future, it would be precisely computer algorithms that could make a decisive contribution to the solution of quantum-physical questions, where human logic does not get any further, as was demonstrated now by Melvin. The algorithm developed by researchers of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) and the University of Vienna is actually being created for the calculation of technical solutions for quantum physical experiments . For a general question asked last year, Melvin provided a solution that proved to be surprisingly practical - but initially completely out of touch with human intuition .
