New Theoretical Framework to Identify Computations Occupying Quantum Frontier

A new theoretical framework to identify computations that occupy the 'quantum frontier' has been developed by a team of researchers from the UK and Australia. The 'quantum frontier' refers to the boundary at which problems become impossible for the presently available computers and can only be solved with the help of a quantum computer.
