https://physics.aps.org/articles/v13/183How do these results relate to the quantum advantage claims by Google? As they stand, they do not weaken or refute claims—with just a few more qubits, and an increase in D or f∞, the next generation of NISQ devices will certainly be much harder to simulate. The results also indicate that the team’s algorithm only works if the quantum computer is sufficiently imperfect—if it is almost perfect, their algorithm provides no speed up advantage.
