Quantum Breakthrough: New Algorithm Solves “Impossible” Materials in Seconds

Aalto University researchers developed a tensor-network, quantum-inspired method that can simulate huge non-periodic quantum materials in seconds.

The approach can handle systems like quasicrystals and super-moiré materials with hundreds of millions of sites, far beyond conventional methods.

The work, published in Physical Review Letters, could make previously intractable quantum materials practical to design and study.

That may help advance next-generation quantum computing and enable lower-heat, more efficient electronics for data centers.
