Comment on: "Dynamics of disordered quantum systems with two- and three-dimensional tensor networks" arXiv:2503.05693

In a recent preprint [1] (arXiv:2503.05693), Tindall et al. presented impressive classical simulations of quantum dynamics using tensor networks. Their methods represent a significant improvement in the classical state of the art, and in some cases show lower errors than recent simulations of quantum dynamics using a quantum annealer [2] (King et al., Science, eado6285, 2025). However, of the simulations in Ref. [2], Ref. [1] did not attempt the most complex lattice geometry, nor reproduce the largest simulations in 3D lattices, nor simulate the longest simulation times, nor simulate the low-precision ensembles in which correlations grow the fastest, nor produce the full-state and fourth-order observables produced by Ref. [2]. Thus this work should not be misinterpreted as having overturned the claim of Ref. [2]: the demonstration of quantum simulations beyond the reach of classical methods. Rather, these classical advances narrow the parameter space in which beyond-classical computation has been demonstrated. In the near future these classical methods can be combined with quantum simulations to help sharpen the boundary between classical and quantum simulability.
