The Bristol give numerical evidence that BosonSampling, with n photons and m modes, can be approximately simulated by a classical computer in “merely” about n2n time (that is, the time needed to ...

Quantum advantage: Schematic diagram of the Zuchongzhi-3 chip. 105 qubits and 182 couplers are integrated on the same chip to perform quantum random circuit sampling tasks. (Courtesy: USTC) ...

Quantum computers will continue to fit in the “emerging technologies” category for some time, at least in terms of their ability to handle a large enough number of real-world applications. This lack ...

Over the years, I've encountered many engineers (a majority in fact) who are still puzzled by the subtleties of sampling. Even though they may know some mathematical basics, or have some idea of how ...

As a goal, quantum supremacy 1 is unlike most algorithmic tasks because it is defined not in terms of a particular problem to be solved but in terms of what classical computers cannot do. This is like ...

In the process of comparing the performance of Bayes acceptance sampling plans with classical sampling plans, it is necessary to understand the distinction between the classical and Bayes definitions ...
