A team of researchers from Microsoft and the Zurich Scalable Parallel Computing Lab published an article on the potential of quantum computing for the future. The researchers compared quantum computing (QQC)  to a single NVIDIA graphics card, and it was found that GPUs perform better than a hypothetical quantum computer in some applications. The researchers suggested that future quantum systems are unlikely to reach practical speeds for many of the most common manufacturing tasks, even with extraordinary improvements in hardware and software. A task must be completed faster than a conventional computer by a quantum system to be useful, and … Continue reading Microsoft and Zurich Researchers Debunk Quantum Computing Hype: GPUs Perform Better in Some Applications
