“By calculating partition function zeros we are on the way to solving the problem of scaling to larger numbers of qubits when trying to calculate free energies and entropies in a given system.” ...

Eighty years ago, Ramanujan conjectured and proved some striking congruences for the partition function modulo powers of 5, 7, and 11. Until recently, only a handful of further such congruences were ...

A study has developed a new method that enables quantum computers to measure the thermodynamic properties of systems by calculating the zeros of the partition function.
