Which is an even bigger let-down, because that means its entire purpose is to approximate quantum computing slightly better than other classical simulators, all of which are fundamentally incapable of quantum simulation.

Background: ML can lend a higher degree of realism to QC simulation, which can be useful for experiment development due to the expense of real quantum compute time but with a lot of asterisks relating to accuracy.

Ultimately since real QC is non-negotiable for modern quantum chemistry, this super computer was likely built as a cost-saving measure that would only be justified by a lack of funding and/or affordable access to QC.
