Conductor orchestrating waves inside a quantum computer

Of course there is a minimum requirement for the computer: enough qubits, fault-tolerant computing, support for hundreds of millions or more computations before a reset, that sort of thing. We’re still on that journey but even after we reach this goal it is important to have a sense of what delivers advantage since the computer … Read More
