In 2019, Google claimed to have reached quantum supremacy—a milestone where a quantum computer solves a problem beyond the reach of classical supercomputers. But years later, the debate still rages: was this truly a breakthrough, or a well-packaged PR moment?

In this episode, we dive deep into the quantum realm, breaking down:

• What quantum supremacy really means

• How Google’s 49-qubit chip made headlines—and waves

• Why experts remain skeptical, pointing to noise, fidelity, and simulation limitations

• The role of tools like Rollright, cross-entropy benchmarking, and grid-based quantum circuit complexity

• How decoherence and quantum noise still hold the field back

• And whether quantum computing will disrupt fields like cryptography, drug discovery, and finance

We also unpack the global tech race—where IBM, Intel, and startups are battling to build the world’s most powerful quantum machine.

Is the hype justified, or are we still light-years away from true supremacy?

Tune in for a fast-paced, research-backed debate that separates quantum fact from fiction.
