    Quantum Computing's Breakthrough Moment

    Best quote from Quantum Computing's Breakthrough Moment

    “

    We're looking at a problem that's not just computationally hard, but energetically impossible to solve with classical methods; for this particular problem, a quantum computer can do in minutes what would take the world's fastest supercomputer nearly a million years.
