The 2019 paper “Quantum supremacy using a programmable superconducting processor”  asserted that Google’s Sycamore quantum computer,  with 53 qubits and a depth of 20, performed a specific computation in about 200 seconds. According to Google’s estimate, a state-of-the-art classical supercomputer would require approximately 10,000 years to complete the same computation. The Google experiment had two major components: The “Fidelity Claims”: Assertions regarding the fidelity of the samples produce...
