China enthüllt einen Quantencomputer, der schneller als vorhandene Supercomputer ist

Submission Statement:

Chinese scientists have unveiled a new prototype superconducting quantum computer which they claim would lay the groundwork for a whole new era of processors.

Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) say the quantum computer operates at a speed that is a quadrillion (10^15) times faster than the fastest supercomputer currently available.

The quantum processor, described in a new study in the journal Physical Review Letters, was also found to be a million times faster than Google’s latest experiment.

Scientists across the world have been attempting to build quantum computers capable of performing tasks infeasible for classical computers.

One of the tasks that has become something like a golden standard for testing and comparing quantum computers is what’s called the “random circuit sampling” (RCS) problem.

“This process [RCS] has become a focal point of intensive research due to its capacity to underscore the computational superiority of quantum systems,” scientists explained.

When Google made the headlines last December, I heard people say that RCS is a shitty example because it’s a kind of benchmark that’s specifically meant for quantum computers to excel, and that it doesn’t translate to any general purpose use.

It seems that it’s the same case here. But anyone with knowledge in it can confirm.

lol this sounds like a toddler bragging about something. Oh yeah?! well I made a quantum computer that’s a Chazillion times faster than yours! 😏
