Validating random circuit sampling as a benchmark for measuring quantum progress
While quantum processors in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era demonstrate remarkable potential, they are susceptible to errors, i.e., noise, that accumulate over time and limit the number of qubits they can effectively handle. This poses a fundamental question: despite the limitations of noise in quantum computing, can these systems still provide practical value and outperform classical supercomputers in specific applications?| research.google
