A Classical Model Describes Both Quantum Simulators and Animal Behavior

Caption

Physicists detail how they examined a quantum simulator and found that, after an initial period, the simulator showed behaviors that could be described using a classical fluid dynamics model—one that also describes the foraging behaviors of some bees, sharks and other animals.
