What an incredible week in the realm of quantum computing. Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China in Hefei have performed a quantum computation known as Gaussian Boson Sampling 100 trillion times faster than any supercomputer. Although the magnitude of this achievement cannot be overstated, it doesn’t have many practical applic…
