In this blog post, Scott Aaronson discusses the concept of quantum supremacy and its recent achievement by Google's quantum computer, Sycamore. Aaronson explains that quantum supremacy refers to the milestone when a quantum computer can perform a specific task faster than any classical computer, even the most powerful supercomputers. He delves into the details of the experiment conducted by Google and provides an accessible explanation of the underlying principles of quantum computing. Additionally, Aaronson addresses the potential implications of quantum supremacy and the criticisms that have arisen in its aftermath. Overall, this post offers a comprehensive overview of quantum supremacy and its significance in the field of computing.
