‘Sparsification’: PNNL Preps Data for Quantum

Quantum computing holds great promise in such such as computational chemistry and high-speed networking. But they’re so different from classical HPC systems that scientists are working out how to feed them quantum-ready data. Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are developing an algorithm, called Picasso, designed to handle that task.
