DESCRIPTION
Google claims their 54 qubit quantum computer can solve a problem in 200 seconds that would take a regular supercomputer 10,000 years but IBM says it would take 2.5 days or much less for a supercomputer to solve. Nextbigfuture notes that disputes of Quantum Supremacy claims have happened before. D-Wave Systems had claims of quantum supremacy several years ago and researchers were able to use improved algorithms for the classical systems to speed up classical solutions. Programmers of classical computers are collectively very capable. During World War 2, code breakers were able to use the earliest primitive computer-like systems to
