Quantum Supremacy Achieved: A Practical Beyond-Classical Application of Gate-Based Quantum Computers
2025-03-30
Researchers experimentally demonstrated a certified randomness protocol based on random circuit sampling using a high-fidelity quantum computer and exascale classical computation. The protocol allows a classical client to verify randomness with only remote access to an untrusted quantum server, guaranteeing a certain amount of entropy. This work represents a breakthrough in practical applications for gate-based digital quantum computers, opening new opportunities in cryptography and communication. This falls under the Tech category.
