Patent ID: 7353148

Claim:
A method of generating graphic displays or audio sound representations of a numerical solution of a physical process comprising: using a classical computer to simulate computations of a simulated quantum computer by performing multi-dimensional computations comprising the solution to mathematical equations representing a simulated physical process as a series of single dimensional computations, employing pseudo-random number generators to simulate the stochastic nature of the quantum process, simulating measurement of the wavefunction produced by an operator U on a quantum wavefunction Ψ at a node, exchanging information developed by the simulation with nearby nodes, maintaining conservation within a high precision in the simulated physical process by causing quantities in the simulated physical process to go to a prescribed value or function at a boundary of the solution and applying a reflection to keep any transient distributions from entering the boundary, and repeating until the numerical solution is complete; and generating a graphic display or audio sound representation of the numerical solution.
