Scott’s Supreme Quantum Supremacy FAQ
It should be mentioned that IBM managed to simulate a 56 qubit version of the same problem Google describes in the paper (see <a href="https://pastebin.com/RfUMXJZE" rel="nofollow">https://pastebin.com/RfUMXJZE</a>) on a classical super computer:<p>- <a href="https://www.ibm.com/blogs/research/2017/10/quantum-computing-barrier/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ibm.com/blogs/research/2017/10/quantum-computing...</a><p>- <a href="https://www.newscientist.com/article/2151032-googles-quantum-computing-plans-threatened-by-ibm-curveball/" rel="nofollow">https://www.newscientist.com/article/2151032-googles-quantum...</a><p>So technically Google cannot claim to reach quantum supremancy with only 54 qubits as described in the paper.
