Has there actually been any use case found, for any real work, with current quantum computers?
I am sorry for potential ignorance and I don't understand much of the topic, but everytime I read about it, it got the message, that it will be awesome, very soon. But currently mostly research.
I mean it really surprise me, that it already exist as a service, so there must be real use cases already?
Or is this service directed at research?
(real use cases, too, sure, but in a different sense)
- fsh 6y agoCurrent quantum computers are way to small and noisy for any practical applications. To give an example, the largest number ever factored using Shor's algorithm on a quantum computer (without cheating) is 15. These cloud services might be useful for researchers to test possible algorithms on. On the other hand, FOMO probably also plays a significant role in the emergence of all these quantum cloud services.
