The main part for me is reducing error faster as they scale. This was a major road-block, known as "below threshold”. That's a major achievement. I am not sure

I am not sure about RCS as the benchmark as not sure how useful that is in practice. It just produced really nice numbers. If I had a few billions of pocket change around, would I buy this to run RCS really fast? -Nah, probably not. I'll get more excited when they factor numbers at a rate that would break public key crypto. For that would spend my pocket change!
- vessenes 2y agoThe implication seems to be that they can implement other gates. As my gen z kids say: huge if true.
- wasabi991011 2y agoIt's really important to note that the error correction test and the random circuit test are separate tests. The error correction is producing a single logical qubit of quantum memory, i.e. a single qubit with no gates applied to it. Meanwhile, the random circuit sampling uses physical qubits with no error correction, and is used as a good benchmark in part because it can prove "quantumness" even in the presence of noise.[1] [1] https://research.google/blog/validating-random-circuit-sampling-as-a-benchmark-for-measuring-quantum-progress/ https://research.google/blog/validating-random-circuit-sampl...
