When Nobel laureate Richard Feynman first suggested the idea of quantum computers, he proposed they might perform the kind of complex quantum simulations that might yield insights into next-generation ...

Core to the approach is what the companies call a one-step simplified LBM, or OSSLBM, framework. The method uses a hybrid ...

Physicists have built a new type of digital-analogue quantum simulator in Google’s laboratory, which can be used to study physical processes with unprecedented precision and flexibility. Two ...

Creating a quantum computer powerful enough to tackle problems we cannot solve with current computers remains a big challenge for quantum physicists. A well-functioning quantum simulator -- a specific ...

An analog-digital approach to quantum simulation could lay the foundations for the next generation of supercomputers to finally outpace their classical predecessors. Reading time 3 minutes Quantum ...

Faithful simulations of the world are impossible to create using ordinary computers. Simulating physical reality is, however, the original, express purpose of quantum computers. In 1981, long before ...

Researchers have invented a new method by which classical computers can measure the error rates of quantum machines without having to fully simulate them. Quantum ...

This image depicts the ultracold atomic quantum simulator. The red and blue balls represent the fermionic atoms with up and down spins, respectively, arranged in a staggered pattern in 3D space, ...
