Quantum computers outperform classical ones, with results you can trust

SMRTR summary

IBM launched a quantum advantage tracker and announced three new results showing quantum computers can outperform classical ones in ways that can actually be trusted. Each result used a different method to reduce errors and verify outputs, since today's quantum hardware is noisy and unreliable. None of the algorithms have real-world uses yet, but the noise-reduction techniques developed could help future error-corrected quantum systems deliver practical results.
