What is Quantum Supremacy?
-
Quantum supremacy means a quantum computer can solve a problem better or faster than any classical computer.
-
Scientists have been searching for a simple task to prove this advantage clearly.
A New Way to Show Quantum Supremacy
-
Researchers have shown quantum supremacy using a simple colouring game.
-
In the game, two players answer questions about points on a circle without talking to each other.
-
Using quantum entangled atoms, the players won 97.8% of the time, much better than the 83.3% success of classical methods.
-
This shows that quantum computers can solve certain problems faster and more efficiently than classical computers, even with just two quantum bits.
