Chinese Researchers Train Classical Surrogate Model to Replace Costly Quantum Computers

Researchers from the Henan Key Laboratory of Quantum Information and Quantum Cryptography, led by Huang Heliang, have developed an innovative approach to make quantum computing research more accessible: training a classical surrogate model using data from actual quantum processors, then running the majority of computations on ordinary computers. The core challenge is that quantum computers remain extraordinarily expensive. A superconducting quan…
