Quantum Computers Just Reached the Holy Grail – No Assumptions, No Limits

Researchers from USC and Johns Hopkins used two IBM Eagle quantum processors to pull off an unconditional, exponential speedup on a classic “guess-the-pattern” puzzle, proving—without assumptions—that quantum machines can now outpace the best classical computers. By squeezing extra performance from hardware with shorter circuits, transpilation, dynamical decoupling, and error-mitigation, the team finally crossed a milestone […]
