“Many business leaders are looking to quantum computing as the promising successor to classical computing, but research shows–and leaders in  quantum computing agree–it will continue to underperform classical computing in many areas,” says Thompson.

Key Points: 
  • “Many business leaders are looking to quantum computing as the promising successor to classical computing, but research shows–and leaders in  quantum computing agree–it will continue to underperform classical computing in many areas,” says Thompson.
  • “As a result, to understand where quantum computing will perform better first requires understanding why it can be.”
    The research paper finds that quantum computers must meet two conditions to yield an improvement on classical computers.
  • While these factors sound straightforward, they have powerful implications regarding which problems will benefit from quantum computing and which won’t.
  • Unfortunately, even if quantum computers could theoretically be better, they often aren’t in practice because current and near-term quantum computers have limited computational capacity, so they aren’t powerful enough to run the problems where quantum computers are better.
