Physicists in China challenge Google’s ‘quantum advantage’ – Nature.com
Photon-based quantum computer does a calculation that ordinary computers might never be able to do.

A team in China claims to have made the first definitive demonstration of quantum advantage exploiting the counter-intuitive workings of quantum mechanics to perform computations that would be prohibitively slow on classical computers.
They have used beams of laser light to perform a computation which had been mathematically proven to be practically…
