Google Confirms 'Quantum Supremacy' - Completes 10,000 Year Calculation In 200 Seconds

While the breakthrough leaked last month, the company provided new details with the publication of a new article in the scientific journal, Nature.
The company says that their 54-qbit Sycamore processor was able to perform a calculation in 200 seconds which would have taken the world's most powerful supercomputer 10,000 years.
Unsurprisingly, IBM, the company that operates the supercomputer that Google claims to have beaten, and a key quantum computer competitor, is disputing Google’s claims. In a blog post published pre-emptively on Monday, the company said that the same task could be performed on a classical system in just 2.5 days, rather than the 10,000 years that Google is claiming. IBM says that Google “failed to fully account for plentiful disk storage” when estimating how long its traditional supercomputer would take to perform the calculation. -The VergeRead more & video
