I did not understand what real world computing use would quantum computers have over the current generation of compute in terms of architecture/efficiency or a measurable metric. Thanks for explaining.
- bowsamic 3y agoThe main benefit of quantum computers is that they're (in principle) very precisely controllable quantum systems. In a sense, if you do a "quantum simulation", it's actually physically real since you are actually working with the same quantum states and interactions you would have in the "real thing". Apart from some strange cases (usually using quantum fourier transform, such as prime number factorisation) they are not good replacements for classical computers at all.
