RE: Quantum Supremacy

Dear @fucho80

Again, interesting read. I've been trying to understand idea behind Quantum computing and I found it to be a very difficult challenge. It surely does feel like technology is reaching another breaking point, after which they may be no "return" to where we were before.

Quantum supremacy is the potential capacity of quantum computing devices to solve problems that classical computers can hardly solve. The quantum advantage is the potential to solve problems more quickly.

Ehm. Yeah. That's very simplified explanation. I've watched recently some youtube video where someone tried to explain how does it all work and it does sounded more like:
"thanks to Quantum computing we can "steal" resources from different dimensions, dimensions we do not understand. And we use those resources in our world to speed up computing process".

At the end of the day, it does look like we're playing around with something as huge (or even more powerful) than nuclear energy, without really understanding nature of world behind Quantum physics. Very scary thing.

Another thing is that problems solved by QC would be most likely of very different nature than problems solved with current computing power and current maths.

Google claimed to have achieved quantum supremacy, when its Sycamor processor was able to solve a problem in 200 seconds, a task that would take the best super computer known so far 10,000 years

shocking. I wonder how much did this operation cost. Millions most likely.

How does quantum supremacy benefit us? What can you do for us in our day to day? Would common citizens have access to this technology?

I don't think common citizens will ever have an access to this technology. Mostly because of costs behind running QC. Only the wealthiest and most advanced corporations could afford to use it for any purposes.

Upvote on the way :)
