Each transition is governed by a set of probabilities, which defines how likely the system is to move from one state to another. Reversible Markov chains \u2014 where the probability of moving from, let\u2019s call them, state A to state B equals the probability of moving from B to A \u2014 have traditionally been the focus of computational techniques. However, many real-world systems are nonreversible, meaning their transitions are biased in one direction, as seen in certain biological and chemical processes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quantum computers may soon dramatically enhance our ability to solve problems modeled by nonreversible Markov chains, according to a study published on the pre-print server arXiv.
