This new algorithm for QC calculation was introduced recently (2017 4Q) by IBM/ Pednault et al. to great fanfare. The paper seems more couched in the language of physics.
Are there any basic overview/analyses of this by computer scientists about the general "design pattern" utilized, vs the prior algorithmic techniques for the problem, or can someone provide one? What about the complexity analysis of the techniques?
