Attaining Quantum Supremacy, Closer?

University of Queensland researchers concluded an experiment bringing the path to quantum supremacy that much closer. And “The real message of this experiment is to not fear…researchers will have a more complete picture of boson sampling with loss, allowing them to forge new paths to a demonstration of quantum supremacy.” 

“Boson sampling is a task that’s much more efficiently done on a quantum computer than a classical one. A boson-sampling device with photons takes an input of photons, allows them to interact for a period of time, and then measures their positions (the “sample”). Simulating the distribution of many such samples is expected to take exponentially longer on a classical computer than on a quantum device.” (Image Credit: APS/Alan Stonebraker)
