Fishers show that the current capabilities of quantum computers can be replicated even more efficiently on an old PC from the 1980s. In a recent study, Fishers suggest that Commodore 64, with a 1 MHz processor, can perform calculations faster than IBM's quantum computer.
During the latest edition of SIGBOVIK, a satirical event carried out annually by students from Carnegie Mellon University, in the United States, an anonymous team disclosed a study on the early development of quantum computing, which has been explored by “tech giants” like Nvidia e IBMand compared to a 40 year old PC.
The study, treated as an “exhibit” for student owners, simulates the IBM experiment that use your quantum computer to harness an “age of use”It is for the first time that a machine of this type can reproduce the results obtained by a traditional supercomputer – which has been a landmark for the technology.
However, the potential of quantum computing is not greater than the power of current machines. At the same time, your test was made by IBM to exploit your “use era” by helping you with five days to be simulated in a Macbook Pro with M1. Today, the best known satirical article is that this same test can be done on a machine equipped with a processor of at least 1 MHz.
The Commodore 64 was equipped with the MOS Technology 6510 processor and 64 KB of RAM. The test code consists of 2,500 lines in the 6502 Assembly language, the function of which is to use Paulo's dynamic energy techniques to calculate the approximate behavior of ferromagnetic materials.
According to the experiment, the computer takes 4 minutes on the data bridge to view the program. A title of curiosity, a modern notebook made or even a process close to 0.8 millimeters per data bridge.
In conclusion, the responsibility is to affirm that the Commodore 64 ran each data step faster than a quantum computer, but it is also very effective and “decently accurate in solving the problem”. However, observe that this reality may be consistent with technological advances in quantum computing.
Given the current debate about the importance of IBM's experimentation, you should state that this work is not intended to disrespect the IBM team or its results—the experimentation of these This is a compelling case example of Ruido's Middle Staircase error mitigation. Quantico (NISQ). My opinion is that they could be used with a specific structure of the circuits used without experience, and that some weapons adjust it in a way more vulnerable to several classic forms of simulation. So, I can't resist the challenge…

Quantum computers use the principles of quantum mechanics to perform calculations. When using bits to represent information like 0 or 1, these machines use quantum bits, or qubits, which can exist in different states and represent different information simultaneously through a phenomenon known as superposition.
This is the property of qubits that allows quantitative computers to perform calculations at a very large scale and, at that point, to solve complex shape problems more efficiently than classical computers. However, the technology also requires a lot of improvement to deliver the great benefits promised to the industry.
