    Quantum simulator can outperform a universe-sized computer

    For the record, if you were to take every single atom in the observable universe and use all of them to construct a massive, traditional supercomputer, you'd run out of atoms before you got anywhere close to the level of performance that this quantum computer gets with just 300 atoms.

    Now that is a lot of hype and sensationalism... I have no doubt that quantum computing will be awesome but these reporters/editors/etc should refrain from doing such sensationalist titles about something so theoretical... they should wait until they got something palpable that can really be measured in performance.
    Until that day comes AMD still has the best processors and GPUs in the world!
