With its head-spinning size and connections, the power system is so complex that even supercomputers struggle to efficiently solve certain optimization problems. But quantum computers might fare better, and now researchers can explore that prospect thanks to a software interface between quantum computers and grid equipment.With its head-spinning size and connections, the power system is so complex that even supercomputers struggle to efficiently solve certain optimization problems.
