Tech wars: Classic computer beats rival quantum computer in an epic face-off

SMRTR summary

Researchers at the Flatiron Institute used a classical computer to outperform a quantum computer in simulating flipping magnets, discovering that "confinement" limited quantum entanglement growth. This breakthrough clarifies the boundary between quantum and classical computing capabilities and offers a framework for testing new quantum simulations. The team solved in two weeks a problem IBM had claimed only a quantum computer could handle.
