> impossibly enormous and can never be fully calculated. I wouldn't go so far as to say that. A quantum computer can handle the fermion sign problem by scaling polynomially with the number of particles instead of exponentially. Estimates for if/when such a practical device will be created vary wildly but I would think the possibility of this, along with new techniques that take advantage of the redundancy inherent to certain categories of problems and efficiently diagonalize the Hamiltonian could accelerate the rate at which we can handle larger and larger systems. It's kind of hard to predict what breakthroughs will be made, but I'm staying optimistic. EDIT: Then again, looking at your posts on here, I suspect you already know all that ;) |
