## Resource

Can a quantum computer reproduce what happens when you fire neutrons at a magnetic crystal? Arnab Banerjee, the experimentalist who discovered the first signatures of a Kitaev quantum spin liquid, just proved it can — benchmarking IBM's Heron processor against real neutron scattering data from national laboratories. This is what quantum utility looks like when it's grounded in decades of experimental physics.
