QC is a new digital infrastructure that changes our communications, cyber security, and will eventually (in the years to come) provide consumers\/ businesses\/ and governments with the performance they will need for AI, Biocomputing, and Singularity.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>A group of physicists from the Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics, the Lomonosov Moscow State University, has learned to use personal computer for calculations of complex equations of quantum mechanics, usually solved with help of supercomputers. This PC does the job much faster. An article about the results of the work has been published in the journal <i>Computer Physics Communications<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Senior researchers Vladimir Pomerantcev and Olga Rubtsova, working under the guidance of Professor Vladimir Kukulin (SINP MSU) were able to use on an ordinary desktop PC with GPU to solve complicated integral equations of quantum mechanics \u2014 previously solved only with the powerful, expensive supercomputers. According to Vladimir Kukulin, personal computer does the job much faster: in 15 minutes it is doing the work requiring normally 2\u20133 days of the supercomputer time.<\/p>\n<p>The equations in question were formulated in the 60s by the Russian mathematician Ludwig Faddeev. The equations describe the scattering of a few quantum particles, i.e., represent a quantum mechanical analog of the Newtonian theory of the three body systems. As the result, the whole field of quantum mechanics called \u201cphysics of few-body systems\u201d appeared soon after this.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eurekalert.org\/pub_releases\/2016-06\/lmsu-nni062816.php\">http:\/\/www.eurekalert.org\/pub_releases\/2016&#45;06\/lmsu-nni062816.php<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Great that they didn\u2019t have to use a super computer to do their prescribed, lab controlled experiments.
