Oxford's hybrid quantum computer freezes a particle with a field it never touches

Oxford physicists used trapped ions, with internal states as fields and vibrations as matter, to show the Aharonov–Bohm effect stopping a particle's tunneling inside a simulated lattice gauge theory, where the field itself was part of the quantum dynamics.
