There are two flavors of QMC, (a) variational Monte Carlo (VMC) and (b) projector Monte Carlo (PMC). VMC starts by proposing a functional form for the wavefunction and then optimizes the parameters of ...

With highly specialized instruments, we can see materials on the nanoscale – but we can’t see what many of them do. That limits researchers’ ability to develop new therapeutics and new technologies ...

The proposed technique is expected to enable quantum sampling algorithms to scale to high precision, paving the way for quantum advantage on practical problems “The Fidelity Center for Applied ...

Researchers have developed an algorithm that uses the most quantum bits to date to calculate ground state energy, the lowest-energy state in a quantum mechanical system. The discovery could make it ...
