The challenge seeks to accelerate progress in leveraging quantum and quantum-inspired technologies for industrial applications.<br \/>LightSolver will use its laser-based computing system, which harnesses the unique properties of light to provide high-performance computing power capable of solving complex computational problems. Mimicking some quantum effects, the system scans multiple possibilities at once. Processing in parallel, it overcomes the performance barriers of electronics to execute mathematical operations at unprecedented speed, challenging its quantum and supercomputer counterparts.<\/p>\n<h3>Sandia highlights quantum computers\u2019 superior memory efficiency in math problems<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" onerror=\"this.src='https:\/\/zephyrnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/default-img-19.jpg'\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-3506 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/zephyrnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/quantum-news-briefs-july-2-post-quantum-selected-for-nists-national-cybersecurity-center-of-excellence-quantum-migration-project-governor-polis-announces-major-win-for-colorado-wit-2.png\" alt width=\"266\" height=\"109\"><br \/>Theoretical computer scientists at <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sandia.gov\/\">Sandia National Laboratories<\/a> and <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/\">Boston University<\/a> have discovered that quantum computers are unrivaled at solving an advanced math problem according to <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hpcwire.com\/off-the-wire\/sandia-highlights-quantum-computers-superior-memory-efficiency-in-math-problems\/\">June 1 news release<\/a>.
