Google wants to translate physical problems for quantum computers.

Google researchers have developed an algorithm that can translate complex physical problems into the language of quantum mechanics, potentially allowing quantum computers to tackle a wider range of tasks. While quantum computers may eventually be useful for specific jobs like breaking encryption or...

      ab: Google researchers have developed an algorithm that can translate complex physical problems into the language of quantum mechanics, potentially allowing quantum computers to tackle a wider range of tasks. While quantum computers may eventually be useful for specific jobs like breaking encryption or modeling quantum mechanics, their usefulness for other scientific problems is still uncertain. The algorithm developed by the researchers can translate classical problems into a form that can be run on quantum computers, potentially providing an exponential speed-up in simulating the dynamics of these systems. This algorithm represents a problem that is firmly outside the capabilities of classical computers.
