- Physicists at the University at Buffalo have advanced the truncated Wigner approximation (TWA) method to solve quantum problems on ordinary laptops.
- The new approach simplifies quantum dynamics equations, reducing computational costs significantly.
- The study, published in PRX Quantum, provides a user-friendly TWA template for physicists to solve complex problems quickly.
- The method is particularly useful for dissipative spin dynamics, where particles interact with external forces and lose energy.
- This advancement could allow supercomputers and AI to be reserved for the most complex quantum systems.
- The research was supported by the National Science Foundation, the German Research Foundation, and the European Union.
