Just as an hourglass needs finer sand to make a more precise measurement of time, a classical computer needs finer time-steps, and in turn more memory, to make more accurate simulations. Quantum effects can provide a work-around, predict researchers Mile Gu (left) and Thomas Elliott (right) in Singapore.
