Breakthrough in quantum computing boosts simulation accuracy for complex systems
Researchers have created a new method to simulate complex physical processes on quantum computers. The technique improves accuracy and stability, particularly in systems where energy is lost over time. Its efficiency could make it practical for today’s quantum devices.
The team developed a high-order splitting method that separates dynamics into two parts: unitary and dissipative. This approach allows for more streamlined quantum circuits while maintaining precision. By achieving a sixth-order approximation in time, the method significantly boosts simulation accuracy.
This advancement could enable more precise quantum simulations of real-world physical systems. The reduced gate count and high accuracy make it a promising tool for researchers. Further development may expand its use in fields requiring detailed modelling of energy-loss dynamics.
