Quantum computing continues to advance, but so does classical computer science.
Quantum computing promises to solve problems binary computers can’t, but new research from a team in New York shows the old school isn’t ready for retirement just yet.
In June 2023, a team of researchers at IBM demonstrated that a quantum system could outperform a binary computer at a given task. At the time, this was called “quantum utility.”
However, it appears that quantum computers suffer from the same problem as their binary counterparts often do: They’re obsolete before they even hit the market.
