SUMMARY:Sycamore and other quantum supremacy experiments
LOCATION:Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The notable claim of quantum supremacy presented by Google's team
  in 2019 consists of demonstrating the ability of a quantum circuit to gene
 rate, albeit with considerable noise, bitstrings from a distribution that i
 s considered hard to simulate on classical computers. Google's team estimat
 ed that the task performed by their quantum circuit would take 10,000 years
  on a classical supercomputer. In 2020 a team from the University of Scienc
 e and Technology of China (USTC) claimed that the sampling task computed by
  their quantum computer, which differs from Google's, would take 2.5 billio
 n years to perform on a classical supercomputer! In the lecture I will disc
 uss three aspects of these claims.\nA) The quality of the statistical tools
  and methods\nB) The strength of the claims from computational complexity\n
 C) The quality of the data\n
