Ok so what?

- ThePhysicist 8y agoThat means that an analog quantum computer will not give you much advantage when running e.g. Grover search if there’s not a more efficient implementation using a continuous variable approach (which to my knowledge isn’t), so it is not even clear how analog quantum computers could replace the gate-based approach there.
- adamnemecek 8y agoLike, I'm not particularly married to Grover's algorithm or any other gate based algorithm. Throw them all out of the window for all I care.
