SUMMARY:QUANTUM COMPUTATIONAL ADVANTAGE WITH A PROGRAMMABLE PHOTONIC PROCES
 SOR
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nJONATHAN LAVOIE\, EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICIST\, XANADU Q
 UANTUM TECHNOLOGIES\n\nA quantum computer attains computational advantage 
 when outperforming\nthe best classical computers running the best-known al
 gorithms on\nwell-defined tasks. No photonic machine offering programmabil
 ity over\nall its quantum gates has demonstrated quantum computational\nad
 vantage: previous machines were largely restricted to static gate\nsequenc
 es. I will discuss a quantum computational advantage using\nBorealis\, the
  latest of Xanadu’s photonic processors offering\ndynamic programmabilit
 y and available on the cloud. This work is a\ncritical milestone on the pa
 th to a practical quantum computer\,\nvalidating key technological feature
 s of photonics as a platform for\nthis goal.\n
