Beyond Speed: The Energy Cost of Quantum Precision

10.11.2025 by pricpr

With parameters set at g=2.5, ξ=0.2, ω₀/ω=10⁴, and δ²=10⁻⁴, the total resource cost increases alongside implementation error—or decreasing m̄—due to the resultant need for more cooling rounds, a behavior consistent with observations in Figure 1(c), despite an optimal Ms of approximately 5 minimizing cost when state preparation is significantly less expensive than gate implementation.

Quantum phase estimation offers increased precision, but achieving it efficiently requires balancing computational complexity with energy expenditure.

Beyond Heisenberg: Linking Thermodynamics and Quantum Uncertainty

Within the intermediate regime, a quantum particle—initially localized with a velocity of 1.2ℏ/L and a width of L/25—doesn’t trace a simple path, but instead generates blurred interference patterns resembling ridges and canals, which, upon closer inspection, resolve into the cumulative effect of numerous internal rebounds within the confining potential well.

Bridging the Quantum and Classical Worlds

A system’s interaction with both classical and quantum environments inevitably introduces competing timescales—here, a hybrid Redfield-MASH method acknowledges this by treating nonadiabatic coupling to classical degrees of freedom distinctly from secular dissipation into a Markovian quantum bath, a distinction that foreshadows the inevitable emergence of unpredictable behavior.

A new method accurately simulates the interplay between quantum and classical dynamics in complex molecular systems.
