it's a sim of Quantum processes.

If a QC could be made to run for 2^20 (ish) longer and to have 2^3 better quality than SOTA then they could do this on it. That would be great because it would run in about 10 seconds, which I assume is much quicker than the run time on GPU's (although the article doesn't make that clear).

Also we have to solve the (not so famous) it-takes-2-days-to-turn-the-f-thing-on problem of QC, and also the the-f-thing-costs-a-fortune issue also.

But apart from this being technologically out of reach for 70 years it's absolutely a great and important result.

In essence, if a breakthrough happened it would be a breakthrough.
