IBM Claims Fer-Sure "Quantum Advantage" Exceeding Conventional Processing

https://www.livescience.com/technology/quantum/ibm-scientists-claim-theyve-achieved-quantum-advantage-and-theyve-dared-others-to-prove-them-wrong

Scientists at IBM and partner institutions say they've reached
"quantum advantage" in a trio of experiments demonstrating
quantum computing capabilities that even the fastest 
classicalsupercomputers can't match.

In a purported major milestone for quantum computing, the
experiments show how these machines could perform useful
computational tasks, such as computing chemical reactions,
within minutes. By comparison, a supercomputer would take
years.

In a statement, IBM representatives said these experiments
show that quantum computers can provide trusted solutions
more efficiently, more cheaply or more accurately than
any classical computing method.

   Some think IBM is Last-World ... but it's really a
   very diverse company. They hire many of The Best to
   work on stuff - then license the tech for $$$. Much
   existing tech, under other names, has IBM under
   the proverbial hood (ok, 'bonnet' if you're Brit).

   "Quantum" computing has always been a PAIN.
   Controlling ERRORS has been a constant battle.
   In THEORY it's the superior way - but real world
   issues keep holding it back.

   The pic shows a 5-box cluster - but not sure
   if that's the real unit.

   An interesting question for those with more IQ than mine,
   are the 'errors' potentially useful/informative ? Quantum
   is always, inherently, a bit "iffy" ... but what do those
   "if's" maybe tell us ??? We WANT QM to produce 'solid'
   results, in keeping with conventional computing tech,
   however maybe the REAL power/knowledge is in the "if's" ???

   Just wondering.
