Am I oversimplifying in thinking that they’ve demonstrated that their quantum computer is better than at simulating a quantum system than a classical computer?

In which case, should I be impressed? I mean sure, it sounds like you’ve implemented a quantum VM.
- TachyonicBytes 2y agoSimulating a quantum system is a hard challenge and it's actually how Feynman proposed the quantum computing paradigm in the first place. It's basically the original motive.
- freetonik 2y agoExactly. I’ve seen lots of people dismissing this as if it isn’t impressive or important. I’ve watched one video where the author said in a deprecating manner “quantum computers are good for just two things: generating random numbers and simulating quantum systems”. It’s like saying “the thing is good for just two things: making funny noises and producing infinite energy”. (Also, generating random numbers is pretty useful, but I digress)
