Variational quantum algorithms are hybrid quantum-classical approaches extensively studied for their potential to leverage near-term quantum hardware for computational advantages. In this work, we ...
The estimation of low energies of many-body systems is a cornerstone of the computational quantum sciences. Variational quantum algorithms can be used to prepare ground states on pre-fault-tolerant ...
Researchers from Google Quantum AI report that their quantum processor, Willow, ran an algorithm for a quantum computer that solved a complex physics problem thousands of times faster than the world's ...
The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...
