We often hear that quantum computers efficiently solve problems that are very difficult to solve with a classical computer. Quantum v. classical algorithms A more involved example of an algorithm is the search for the largest number in a finite list of numbers. Some problems may need fewer steps on the part of a quantum algorithm than the number of …
Compared to the relatively low attention quantum computing received just over a decade ago, it is astounding to see it dominate global headlines and become a conversation starter that can rival top-dollar news stories. Of course, a quantum computer is not the solution to all ills that ail our world classical computers are much better at tackling some types of …
Google on Monday said it is launching qsim, a new open-source quantum simulator to help researchers develop quantum algorithms. Google said, as currently available quantum processors are prone to noise and don’t correct errors, simulators like qsim will allow researchers to explore quantum algorithms under idealized conditions. qsim is part of Google’s open source ecosystem of software tools that include …
