alt Hacker NewsAm I oversimplifying in thinking that they’ve demonstrated that their quantum computer is better than at simulating a quantum system than a classical computer?
In which case, should I be impressed? I mean sure, it sounds like you’ve implemented a quantum VM.
Simulating a quantum system is a hard challenge and it's actually how Feynman proposed the quantum computing paradigm in the first place. It's basically the original motive.
