Quantum Advantage Has Likely Been Achieved — The Debate Is Over What Counts

A luminous, spiraling design against black.

Insider Brief For more than a decade, quantum computing has promised a moment when controlled quantum machines would outperform classical computers at some well-defined task. That moment, widely known as “quantum supremacy” or “quantum advantage,” was framed as a narrow but symbolic milestone: proof that quantum computation is not merely theoretical, but physically real. By […]
