New 'physics shortcut' lets laptops tackle quantum problems once reserved for supercomputers and AI

1 min read Original article ↗

Physicists have developed a way to model quantum systems on everyday computers, making it easier to run complex simulations without relying on supercomputers or artificial intelligence (AI) tools.

The new method updates "truncated Wigner approximation" (TWA), a decades-old technique for approximating quantum behavior, into a plug-and-play shortcut for solving complex calculations.
