Google claims “quantum supremacy” after its Sycamore processor completed a calculation in 3 min 20 sec that would take 10K+ years on today's supercomputers

even from Microsoft Kevin Hartnett / Quanta Magazine : Google and IBM Clash Over Milestone Quantum Computing Experiment Gareth Halfacree / bit-tech.net : Google proclaims quantum supremacy, but IBM disagrees Tweets: Ivanka Trump / @ivankatrump : It's official! 💥 The US has achieved quantum supremacy! In a collaboration between the Trump Admin, @Google and UC Santa Barbara, quantum computer Sycamore has completed a calculation in 3 min 20 sec that would take about 10,000 years for a classical comp. pic.twitter.com/YBv2TPCP1A Susan Hennessey / @susan_hennessey : Actual quantum supremacy is a critical element of long-term US national security interests. That's why it is so disturbing that the president's know-nothing daughter is posing as the administration's face on the issue and that she thinks this represents genuine “supremacy.” https://twitter.com/... Sundar Pichai / @sundarpichai : Excited about what quantum computing means for the future - it gives us another way to speak the language of the universe and better understand the world, not just in 1s and 0s but in all of its states: beautiful, complex, and with limitless possibility. https://blog.google/... Brianna Wu / @briannawu : Google's Quantum Supremacy has serious real world consequences. ✅ Military Grade encryption uses AES-256. Expect that to be broken soon. ✅ 2048 bit RSA encryption can be broken in JUST EIGHT HOURS We must harden our national cyberdefenses against quantum hacking. https://twitter.com/... @eruditeknight : If this is true my PhD in comp sci is now worth precisely fuck all, because I specialised in... digital security and encryption. Which is now fucked, at least as we know it. As is everything online that involves any level of security. Well done Google. You've destroyed the net. https://twitter.com/... @outsideness : “As Boaz Barak put it to me, the current contest between IBM and Google is analogous to Kasparov versus Deep Blue — except with the world-historic irony that IBM is playing the role of Kasparov!” https://www.scottaaronson.com/ ... Gabriella Mirabelli / @g_mirabelli : Terrifying. The they this becomes real all existing online security will be rendered moot. Everything will be compromised. Absolutely everything. Stock trades, bank account access, military secrets, hospital records.... @jivadevoe : Say goodbye to your privacy. https://twitter.com/... M.G. Siegler / @mgsiegler : Is this a Bourne movie or a Bond movie? https://twitter.com/... UC Santa Barbara / @ucsantabarbara : A #quantum computing milestone! Researchers in UC Santa Barbara/@Google scientist John Martinis' group have made good on their claim to quantum supremacy. Their #Sycamore computer has solved a problem considered intractable for classical computers. https://www.news.ucsb.edu/... @rodolfor : My favorite part about quantum computing is the Google founders not investing in it 20 years ago because it would have created a search engine that could perform a lookup without having any record of it (so no ads or tracking). https://twitter.com/... Santi / @santisiri : quantum computing is to information what splitting atoms was to matter. everything breaks when the tech happens. the pursuit of the atomic bomb led to a global war. https://twitter.com/... Sundar Pichai / @sundarpichai : Very proud that our @GoogleAI team has achieved a big breakthrough in quantum computing known as quantum supremacy after over a decade of work, as published in @Nature. Thank you to our collaborators in the research community who helped make this possible. https://ai.googleblog.com/...
