Solving complex physics problems at lightning speed – Newswise

Newswise — A calculation so complex that it takes twenty years to complete on a powerful desktop computer can now be done in one hour on a regular laptop. Physicist Andreas Ekström at Chalmers University of Technology, together with international research colleagues, has designed a new method to calculate the properties of atomic nuclei incredibly quickly.
The new approach is based on a concept called emulation, where an approximate calculation replaces a complete and more complex calculation. Although…
