A team of researchers from Google and the PSI Center for Scientific Computing has developed a novel quantum simulator that can perform digital and analog quantum computing operations with great precision.
The simulator comprises 69 superconducting qubits and allows scientists to study the quantum processes that even the fastest supercomputers on Earth cannot decode.
“Here we present a quantum simulator that supports both universal quantum gates and high-fidelity analog evolution, with performance beyond the reach of classical simulation in cross-entropy benchmarking experiments,” the researchers note.
While quantum computers are designed to perform a variety of computations, this simulator is specialized for modeling quantum systems. It can replicate…
