Scott Aaronson’s quantum supremacy FAQ

Qu&Co comments on this publication:

Recently some contributors to a paper describing a quantum-supremacy experiment inadvertently posted an older version of this paper online, which was quickly picked-up by the popular press resulting in a flurry of (in many cases) unfounded claims about the progress of quantum-computing. We believe that it is important for people interested in this topic to inform themselves through reading a balanced opinion from someone who is an expert in this field. Therefore we kindly refer to Scott Aaronson's excellent blogpost on this matter.
