Google moves toward quantum supremacy with 72-qubit computer
- donttrack 9y agoGreat news.. They can now analyze and track our every move even more efficiently.
- equalunique 9y agoThat would require a quantum-optimized algorithm for tracking our every move - such a thing may not even exist yet. Perhaps the likeliest application in that domain for quantum computers would be machine learning processes for guessing what our moves are going to be.
- geofft 9y ago"Quantum supremacy" is the goal (still unachieved) of demonstrating a clear speedup over classical computation by computing something faster than our best classical computers can. I recall a number of quantum demonstrations (though usually with the quantum annealing devices) have had legitimate questions about whether any quantum behavior was exhibited at all, because given how little was calculated it certainly could have decohered and done the same calculation via classical means with the amount of time it took, or something. (I probably do not have the details right.)
