The resources required to track the state of a quantum system grow exponentially with the size of the system. Therefore, even modest-sized simulations can exceed the capacity of the largest supercomputers. In 1982, Richard Feynman proposed using a controllable quantum system as the computer, so that the quantum mechanics of the machine itself performs the computation [1]. This proposal has grown into a worldwide effort to build quantum computers made up of large numbers of quantum bits, or qubits. But simulating fundamental physics poses a special challenge, as the two classes of particles\u2014fermions and bosons\u2014map to qubits in distinctly different ways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pairing superconducting qubits with microwave cavities could reduce the hardware requirements for quantum simulations of fundamental physics.
