Has quantum advantage been achieved? Part 2: Considering the evidence

Welcome back to: Has quantum advantage been achieved? In Part 1 of this mini-series on quantum advantage demonstrations, I told you about the idea of random circuit sampling (RCS) and the experimental implementations thereof. In this post, Part 2 out of 3, I will discuss the arguments and evidence for why I am convinced that the experiments demonstrate a quantum advantage. Recall from Part 1 that to assess an experimental quantum advantage claim we need to check three criteria: - Does the...
