A simple mathematical model can account for lizard’s green-and-black pattern Tried-and-true Ising model can describe how scales color-switch as the lizard ages.

Quantum annealers are devices that physically implement a quantum system called the 'Ising model' to solve combinatorial optimization problems. However, the coefficients of the Ising model often ...
