Quantum Simulation Explained: Applications, Methods and Challenges

Insider Brief A molecule with fifty interacting particles needs more numbers to describe its full quantum state than a classical supercomputer can store. That's the wall classical chemistry keeps hitting, and it's why physicist Richard Feynman proposed the idea that if you want to simulate a quantum system accurately, build a computer that runs on […]
