Delineating the boundary between the computational power of quantum and classical devices
This project sets out to assess, make use of and verify the computational power of realistic quantum devices. It comprehensively identifies quantum simulators and paradigmatic quantum devices that are computationally superior to classical supercomputers, based on presently available or plausible physical architectures. In doing so, it explores the fine line that discriminates regimes featuring a quantum advantage from ones that are accessible to efficient classical simulation. This naturally two-pronged approach is on the one hand concerned with (1) novel classical simulation tools for seemingly deeply quantum prescriptions and with identifying limitations of variational approaches and…
