Abstract: Although today’s quantum computers are noisy and imperfect, they are already accessing regimes that challenge classical computation. In this talk, I will present progress in quantum advantage candidates, revealing how improvements in quantum hardware and integration with classical resources are not only enabling error mitigation and early error correction techniques to yield accurate quantum computations at scales beyond exact classical verification, but are also pushing the limits of leading classical approximations. I will also share progress in benchmarking these experiments with the Quantum Advantage Tracker. Finally, I will look at how these circuits for advantage are inspiring new algorithms research to address practical applications. Together, these efforts illuminate a path to useful quantum computing on pre-fault-tolerant quantum hardware.
