TL;DR Summary

Physicists have successfully observed and measured an "unobservable" quantum phase transition, thanks to advancements in quantum computing. Using clever techniques and the brute-force power of quantum computers, researchers were able to detect and study the entanglement structure of chains of qubits, providing evidence for the existence of entanglement filling the chain. This breakthrough has sparked interest in the role of measurements in generating new phenomena and has opened up new possibilities for manipulating and supercharging entangled states of quantum matter.
