This breakthrough allows classical computers to simulate photonic quantum devices using only 5% of the resources previously required by supercomputers, significantly lowering barriers to entry for research. By optimizing memory usage and runtime, this algorithm accelerates the design and refinement of light-based quantum hardware without relying on massive supercomputing infrastructure. The shift challenges the assumption that classical systems must always be vastly more powerful than emerging quantum architectures in specific simulation contexts.

Canada and UK fund software for better quantum devices

Quantum ZeitgeistOctober 15, 20262 min read

A software advance enables off-the-shelf computers to run quantum simulations previously possible only using the world’s most powerful supercomputers, requiring around five per cent of the computing power. The research, involving scientists from Edinburgh, EPCC, and Polytechnique Montréal, Canada, received support from the UK’s Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.

Classical computers, running a newly developed algorithm, can now match and even exceed the simulation capabilities of some existing quantum devices. It means the simulations can be run using around five percent of the computing power previously needed…
