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.
