Quantum physics has a reputation for needing exotic hardware, from liquid-helium-cooled qubits to sprawling AI clusters, just to crunch through basic simulations. Now a new “physics shortcut” is ...

Physicists have developed a way to model quantum systems on everyday computers, making it easier to run complex simulations without relying on supercomputers or artificial intelligence (AI) tools. The ...

A strategy borrowed from generative AI — train cheaply on the familiar, then fine-tune on the hard problem — can cut the number of expensive physics simulations needed by nearly a factor of ten. But a ...
