Existing quantum computers can solve some problems faster than any ordinary computer, but none of those problems has any practical use. Google and XPRIZE hope to change that
Google and XPRIZE are launching a $5 million competition to find practical uses for quantum computers that could actually benefit society. We already know that quantum computers can perform specific tasks faster than classical computers, after Google first claimed“There’s a lot of rather abstract mathematical problems where we can prove quantum computers give very, very large speed-ups,” saysat Google.
The prize will judge entrants’ algorithms on a range of criteria, such as how large their impact could be, whether they tackle problems similar to those outlined in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and how feasibly they can be run on machines that are available now or in the near-future.
The prize could help shift the focus of quantum computing researchers from looking at technical definitions of quantum advantage, like those demonstrated by Google or IBM, to real-world uses, saysat Montreal Polytechnic in Canada. “ hitting the nail on the head that this is a very important problem,” says Quesada. “We need to figure out what to do with a quantum computer.”
However, finding socially beneficial quantum algorithms will require a better understanding of how quantum computers work, such as how to deal with noise and errors, says“I’m very optimistic, in principle, that we’ll find algorithms that are really useful,” Fefferman. “I’m not as optimistic that, in the next three years, we’ll be able to discover those algorithms and then also implement them on the current hardware that will exist.
