Quantum Supremacy, Round Two: A New Era for Practical Quantum Computing
In 2019, Google’s Sycamore quantum processor performed a task in 200 seconds, which Google estimated would take a supercomputer 10,000 years. This was claimed as the first experimental quantum supremacy, but was later challenged by IBM arguing their supercomputer could do it in 2.5 days. On March 12, 2025, D-Wave announced a breakthrough, claiming to…
