Quantum computing is becoming more popular – both as a field of study and in the public imagination. The technology promises more speed and more efficient problem-solving abilities, challenging the boundaries set by classical, conventional computing.
The hype has led to inflated expectations. But whether or not it can meet them, the raison d’être of a quantum computer is taken to be synonymous with the ability to solve some problems much faster than a classical computer can. This achievement, called quantum supremacy, will establish quantum computers as superior machines.
Scientists have been exploring both experimental and theoretical ways to prove quantum supremacy.
