RE: Curating the Internet: Science and technology micro-summaries for October 4, 2019
As said in your other post, one should definitely read the google paper (the conclusions are sufficient for those who may not have plenty of time ;) ).
Have a nice week-end!
Thanks! Hope you have a nice week-end, too!
The article was definitely worth the read. Aside from the sheer accomplishment of crossing the quantum supremacy threshold, a couple other things also caught my attention.
For one, I'd like to know more about how they connect the supercooled components to the room temperature components. Another is their discussion of the Church-Turing thesis, pointing out that they may have created a model of computing that contradicts the thesis. After reading it, this seems obvious, but it still caught me by surprise because I hadn't thought about it at all.
Additionally, it's noteworthy that they expect their capabilities to continue growing at a double-exponential rate (Following "Neven's Law").
