However, today’s quantum computers resemble classical computers of the 1950s and 60s: brittle, without error correction, and expensive to operate, but powerful for niche applications.
The first is an execution layer that improves how algorithms are compiled, optimized, mitigated, and run on quantum hardware.
Why quantum advantage is not here yet The pursuit of quantum advantage – the point at which quantum hardware surpasses classical computing in solving certain problems – requires active exploration of both suitable intractable problems and novel quantum algorithm design.
This makes identifying anomalies, such as a fraudulent transaction in vast datasets, more efficient on available quantum hardware.
The benefits of software-enabled quantum utility With the opportunity to experiment broadly with accessible quantum hardware, researchers could further their expertise and understanding of what problems are best suited for quantum computation, leading to more opportunities to achieve quantum advantage in both academic and real-world problems.
