Techstrong.IT, Thursday, August 7th, 2025

In the very new world of quantum computing, which vendor or standards body gets to officially proclaim that the technology has first reached 'quantum advantage'?

This is the critical moment when a quantum machine can process a complex query better, faster, and cheaper than traditional high-performance computing systems.

It seems like a simple issue, merely a matter of calculating dollars and compute speeds. But the issue is complicated by two factors. First, quantum is still nascent and largely theoretical, with its advances coded in the deep geek-speak of physics. Experts argue by throwing around terms like entanglement and subatomic levels.
