With their ability to run more efficient algorithms, quantum computers have the potential to take a more direct path — but because they have slower processing speeds, it could actually take longer to solve the problem.
With their ability to run more efficient algorithms, quantum computers have the potential to take a more direct path — but because they have slower processing speeds, it could actually take longer to solve the problem. The researchers’ framework aims to help businesses determine whether the shorter route or the faster computer is more valuable, depending on what problem they are trying to solve.
