You are right, what I actually meant is "great once quantum computing becomes a commercially viable route" :-)
Regarding the second line of your comment: I don't have comprehensive knowledge about the possible alternatives, could you direct me towards some sources?
- acqq 10y agoDiscussed in 2015: http://news.mit.edu/2015/3q-scott-aaronson-google-quantum-computing-paper-1211 http://news.mit.edu/2015/3q-scott-aaronson-google-quantum-co... "In the current model of the D-Wave chip, there are 1,000 or so qubits [quantum bits], but they’re organized into clusters of eight qubits each." "what the Google paper finds is that Selby’s algorithm, which runs on a classical computer, totally outperforms the D-Wave machine on all the instances they tested." Now they've just made a machine of twice as much qubits but is there any performance advantage compared to the code run on the classical computer?
- mastazi 10y agoThanks for the link + explanation! Now that I saw the article, I vaguely remember the story but, at the time, I did not do any further reading.
