If Your Quantum Computer is Imperfect, Try a Classical System to Simulate It
Imperfections Lower the Simulation Cost of Quantum Computers Read More… + With a few quantum bits, an ideal quantum computer can process vast amounts of information in a coordinated way, making it significantly more powerful than a classical counterpart. This predicted power increase will be great for users but is bad for physicists trying to […]
