Using the same 54-qubit quantum computer used to show quantum supremacy, researchers ran the Hartree-Fock approximation—twice as large as previous experiments with ten times as many quantum gate ops. Read more...

Google claims quantum computer has passed the performance of supercomputers

Paul Hill — Wed, 23 Oct 2019 17:54:01 +0000

Google says that its Sycamore quantum computer has achieved quantum supremacy after it managed to work out a problem in 200 seconds, whereas a supercomputer would take 10,000 years. Read more...

Quantum supremacy might not have been achieved by Google and Sycamore after all, says IBM

Ather Fawaz — Tue, 22 Oct 2019 07:42:01 +0000

Researchers at IBM showed that by conservative worst-case estimates, the same task that would have allegedly taken 10,000 years to solve on a classical computer, can instead be solved in 2.5 days. Read more...
