Back to the Future with Quantum Computers
Too Long; Didn't Read
First, Quantum Computers are now real devices boasting 1 to 70 to 433 qubits.
Second, your sleek Apple MacBook Pro would need upwards of 270 million billion years to match a 70-qubit Quantum Computer at Random Circuit Sampling. Of course, Frontier (see below), not a MacBook Pro, is the ultimate classical computing beast on the planet. But despite its 1.1 Quintillion Hz CPU and GPU processors, it would still need … take a guess … 47 years to beat a 70 qubit Sycamore chip.
What a beautiful intersection of time to be at.
