Quantum signal processing improves algorithms for simulating physics
Jun 8, 2016
Guang Hao Low and Isaac Chuang propose quantum signal processing: controlled single-qubit rotations that enable an optimal algorithm for simulating quantum dynamics under a specified access model. The result concerns algorithmic cost, not a hardware demonstration.
Why it matters
Efficient simulation algorithms reduce the resources future quantum computers need to study molecules and materials.
