Quantum supremacy is usually misunderstood, and it's likely quantum computers will not surpass transistor computers in every way; they will be much better at a subset of tasks only.
- quotemstr 7y agoRight. And the "quantum computer" won't ever really exist anyway: we'll just end up with quantum functional units on regular computers. We attach GPUs and TPUs to regular CPUs, but we don't call the resulting machines "graphics computers" or "tensor computers".
