Google claims to have proved its supremacy with new quantum computer
Dumb question:<p>Say I have a wooden stick and I break it in half in less than a second. Assume a computer would need several minutes to simulate everything that would've happened in the stick. I clearly got the output faster than a computer (and with more precision), so does this imply I'm doing anything particularly fascinating?<p>I assume the same scenario is possible to concoct for a quantum computer. I assume it wouldn't be particularly interesting either. So what are the criteria for distinguishing those scenarios from the "interesting" cases? And how do we know which case this one is like?
