Quantum computers outperform classical ones, with results you can trust
Three approaches to the issue of quantum results that can't be verified classically.
IBM has launched a quantum advantage tracker, announcing three new entries that demonstrate quantum computers outperforming classical ones on current hardware. These entries showcase different methods to validate quantum results and overcome errors. The company's Jay Gambetta emphasized the significance of this achievement, stating that trusted computing when classical simulations are possible is irrelevant.
Instead, the ability to verify quantum results on hardware that classical computers cannot simulate effectively is a substantial accomplishment.
