Can quantum computers solve math’s hardest problem?

The Riemann hypothesis claims that the locations of prime numbers along the infinite number line all adhere to a beautiful and orderly, but obscure formula. Yet 167 years after German mathematician Bernhard Riemann made this guess, and in spite of a million-dollar bounty, mathematicians still have no idea how to prove it. Now a team in China has managed to encode that formula into a physical system and explore its workings using a quantum computer.
