Quantum Simulation

Quantum simulation is a distinct application domain of quantum computing that crosses hardware platforms (trapped-ion, superconducting, photonic, neutral atom) and is currently the primary application territory where near-term quantum advantage claims are being made, contested, and tested against classical methods.
