Interesting that they targeted Lévy distributions specifically — those heavy tails are notoriously hard to model classically, especially for risk scenarios like flash crashes. The linear scaling with qubits sounds promising but I’m curious how noisy those shallow circuits still get in practice on current hardware. Guess we’ll see if this MPS approach holds up when someone tries to actually run it at scale.
