Solving systems of linear equations with quantum mechanics

Friday, June 9, 2017 - 08:42 in Physics & Chemistry

(Phys.org)—Physicists have experimentally demonstrated a purely quantum method for solving systems of linear equations that has the potential to work exponentially faster than the best classical methods. The results show that quantum computing may eventually have far-reaching practical applications, since solving linear systems is commonly done throughout science and engineering.
