Quantum Advantage
- [Cornell University]
- Overview
The term "quantum advantage" can refer to experimental demonstrations of quantum algorithms solving real-world problems on a quantum computer faster than any classical algorithm running on any classical computer. Because quantum computing terminology has not yet been standardized, the term can also be applied to theoretical speedups (speedups that have not yet been demonstrated experimentally) and to problems that have no known real-world utility.
This promise of computational advantages for real-world problems drives investment in related organizations. While academic institutions favor exponential acceleration, businesses value any advantage over competitors, including quadratic and quadruple acceleration.
