"By treating each of the processor’s output ports as a graph vertex and each detected photon as a subgraph vertex, they determined which subgraph mapped to the solution. Their processor arrived at a solution after obtaining 221,891 samples, each of which corresponded to a particular distribution of up to 80 detected photons. Each sample would require 700 seconds on the world’s fastest supercomputer using an exact algorithm."
okay but how long did the sampling take the photonic computer?
