And even if we could use them to compute, \u201cquantum supremacy\u201d is a misleading term. The first quantum supremacy demonstration will almost certainly be a contrived problem that won\u2019t have a practical or consumer use. Nonetheless, it\u2019s a crucial milestone when it comes to benchmarking these devices and establishing what they can actually do.
