2,000 atoms. 💡 That is the target PASQuanS2.1 set for programmable quantum simulators, with a path toward 10,000. Every atom you add roughly doubles the cost of simulating the system classically. A few hundred is already beyond any supercomputer that will ever be built.

Erwin Schrödinger was born on this day in 1887. ⚛️ His equation describes how quantum systems evolve. Instead of computing the answer, we build systems of atoms and ions that obey the same equation, and we watch what they do. 👁️
