Day 989: Quantum Advantage & Verification

Learning Objectives

• •**Distinguish** between quantum supremacy, advantage, and utility
• •**Critically evaluate** computational speedup claims (including the $10^{25}$ years claim)
• •**Analyze** the ongoing classical algorithm improvements
• •**Apply** verification methods for quantum computational claims
• •**Assess** what constitutes "useful" quantum advantage
• •**Identify** the most promising near-term applications
