TL;DR

This paper explores how integrating specialized quantum modules into classical computers can enhance computational power and discusses constructing such modules from classical systems that follow quantum-like equations with space coordinates acting as evolution parameters.

Contribution

It introduces a novel approach of augmenting classical computers with quantum modules and proposes constructing these modules from classical systems obeying quantum-like equations.

Findings

Quantum modules can significantly boost classical computation.

Classical systems can emulate quantum-like behavior using space as an evolution parameter.

Potential for new hybrid computational architectures.

Abstract

The two essential ideas in this paper are, on the one hand, that a considerable amount of the power of quantum computation may be obtained by adding to a classical computer a few specialized quantum modules and, on the other hand, that such modules may be constructed out of classical systems obeying quantum-like equations where a space coordinate is the evolution parameter (thus playing the role of time in the quantum algorithms).
