Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have developed a new algorithm that enables standard computers to run complex quantum simulations with only around five per cent of the computing power previously needed, making quantum computing experiments cheaper and more accessible.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Quantum Computing.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You can now run advanced quantum simulations on standard computers using far less power. This breakthrough opens routes to cheaper development and faster scaling of photonic quantum computing models.
