Abstract: For manufacturing-related reasons, the qubits of known quantum computers are not to be regarded as equivalent, but instead a standard quantum computer has not only high-performance qubits with long decoherence times and good fidelities of operation but also low-performance qubits with short decoherence times and poor fidelities of operation. The invention utilizes these by subdividing a system to be modeled with such a quantum computer into a bath part of low relevance and a cluster part of high relevance, wherein a rough description of the bath part is assigned to the low-performance qubits and an exact description of the cluster part is assigned to the high-performance qubits.
