    Quantum simulations that once needed supercomputers now run on laptops
    UB physicists have upgraded an old quantum shortcut, allowing ordinary laptops to solve problems that once needed supercomputers.

    Summary:
    A team at the University at Buffalo has made it possible to simulate complex quantum systems without needing a supercomputer.
    By expanding the truncated Wigner approximation, theyrCOve created an accessible, efficient way to model real-world quantum behavior.
    Their method translates dense equations into a ready-to-use format that runs on ordinary computers.
    It could transform how physicists explore quantum phenomena.

    So. have not tried it yet ;-)
