Why It's So Hard to Simulate a Quantum Computer ⚡ экспресс
Original: "Simulation of Quantum Computers: Review and Acceleration Opportunities"
A regular computer lacks both the memory and the time to accurately simulate a quantum system.

To precisely replicate the behavior of 50 quantum particles on a regular computer, you’d need memory heavier than the Earth. Engineers find loopholes: they simplify the calculations so much that the simulation becomes possible on an ordinary laptop. This accelerates the path to real quantum technologies that will transform drug discovery and code-breaking.
🎯 An exact simulation of 300 qubits would require storing more numbers than there are atoms in the entire observable universe.
