#people  #quantum In 1981: spoke on the topic of "Simulating Physics with Computers" QC to simulate quantum systems that are too hard to simulate with classical digital computers. Goal: Simulate Quantum Systems using resources that scale well with the size of the system. > The rule of simulation that I would like to have is that the number of computer elements required to simulate a large physical system is only to be proportional to the space-time volume of the physical system. Not a [[Turing Machine]] Digital Computers are inadequate for simulating quantum systems. "It is impossible to represent the results of quantum mechanics with a classical universal device."
