I feel like you’re asking whether the model T can be fitted or at least compared with a car with a turbo. From the Dwave machine I’ve read about, its more the algorithm must be appropriate (analogous to) in a fundamental way to the quantum system annealed for the computation.
- ggm 6y agoHe is saying that. If the original algorithm was badly coded and they ran the least optimised variant ignoring all updates, then the QC version may indeed have been faster, but it depends: was it tuned to a specific problem, and is there a better than model-T classical computing algorithm for the same specific problem. I'm genetically minded to be skeptical of QC. The question isn't outrageous, even for a believer.
- wastedhours 6y agoThe follow-on question is therefore, are they going to save more time in the long run by writing poorly optimised queries for a particular quantum hardware stack (that we assume as being easier/faster to write), rather than writing highly optimised queries on classical hardware. Writing a garbage SQL query and getting it back faster might be worth it over optimising it - especially if the questions aren't regularly repeated.
