This breakthrough algorithm allows standard hardware to simulate photonic quantum devices using only 5% of the computing power previously required by supercomputers. By enabling efficient simulation of Gaussian boson sampling, this advance directly accelerates the assessment and design of more reliable quantum processors.

Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Researchers have developed an algorithm that enables off-the-shelf computers to run quantum simulations previously only possible using the world’s most powerful supercomputers. It means the simulations can be run using around five percent of the computing power previously needed to perform them with a supercomputer, the team says. Quantum experiments […]

Researchers developed an algorithm that allows standard computers to simulate photonic quantum devices using about 5% of the computing power previously required, according to the team. In tests involving Gaussian boson sampling, classical computers using the algorithm matched or exceeded the performance of some current quantum devices. The…
