GENERATING SAMPLES OF OUTCOMES FROM A QUANTUM SIMULATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17222409 titled 'GENERATING SAMPLES OF OUTCOMES FROM A QUANTUM SIMULATOR

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes techniques for improving a quantum simulator. It introduces a system that includes a simulation component and a snapshot component. Here are the key points:

  • The simulation component determines a set of random numbers.
  • The set of random numbers is simultaneously provided to an arithmetic decoder.
  • The arithmetic decoder performs a stochastic simulation process using the random numbers.
  • The snapshot component generates snapshot data based on data associated with a stochastic branching point in the simulation process.
  • The snapshot data represents the state of the stochastic simulation process.

Potential Applications

  • Quantum computing research and development
  • Simulating complex quantum systems
  • Optimization problems in various industries (e.g., finance, logistics, chemistry)

Problems Solved

  • Enhances the capabilities of quantum simulators
  • Enables more accurate and efficient simulation of quantum systems
  • Provides a method for capturing and analyzing the state of a stochastic simulation process

Benefits

  • Improved accuracy in simulating quantum systems
  • Faster simulation process due to simultaneous generation of random numbers
  • Ability to capture and analyze the state of a simulation process for further analysis and optimization.


Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques for improving a quantum simulator are provided. In one example, a system includes a simulation component and a snapshot component. The simulation component determines a set of random numbers and simultaneously provides the set of random numbers to an arithmetic decoder to perform a stochastic simulation process. The snapshot component generates snapshot data indicative of a state of the stochastic simulation process based on data associated with a stochastic branching point for the stochastic simulation process.
