IBM picked a fight with Google over its claims of 'quantum supremacy.' Here’s why experts say the feud could shake up the tech industry's balance of powers.
, as opposed to the 10,000 years Google said would be required with a traditional computing technology.
Still, Google's work shows the progress of quantum computing, and people shouldn't lose sight of that, despite the arguments about it, says Martin Reynolds, distinguished vice president at Gartner. "While it's not completely clear to me that there's currently enough evidence to conclude that we've reached quantum supremacy, Google is certainly breaking new ground and going places people have not gone before," Fefferman said.
"This is an exciting scientific achievement for the quantum industry and another step on a long journey towards a scalable, viable quantum future," a Microsoft spokesperson said in a statement.Chad Rigetti, founder and CEO of the startup Rigetti Quantum Computing, calls Google's experiment a "remarkable achievement" and should give researchers, policymakers, investors, and other users more confidence in quantum computing.
Clarke, of Intel, agrees that it's a positive for the quantum community overall, although he notes that calling it "quantum supremacy" might be debatable. Clarke also says that it could show that quantum computers can be more efficient, as he suspects that Google's quantum computer uses much less power than running a Summit supercomputer for over two days.
