Austin: In a groundbreaking development, quantum computers have achieved unconditional advantage over classical machines, solving a problem that conventional computers cannot manage. Unlike classical computers, which rely on bits that represent either 0 or 1, quantum computers utilize qubits, capable of existing in multiple states simultaneously. This allows quantum systems to store and process vastly more information, enabling calculations previously deemed impossible. The achievement marks a pivotal milestone in the evolution of quantum computing, bringing it closer to practical applications across science, technology, and industry.
The study, published on the arXiv preprint server, was led by researchers at the University of Texas, who designed a mathematical task specifically to tes
