Quantum computers can outpace our fastest classical computers in very specific areas, a groundbreaking experiment suggests. Google Quantum AI researchers have discovered a “stable computationally complex phase” that can be achieved with existing quantum processing units (QPUs), also known as quantum processors. This means that when quantum computers enter this specific “weak noise phase,” they […]
