Re: physical test measurement

"They built an experiment and were able to take measurments 10^14 time faster than simulating the physics in a computer."

I'm glad someone else brought this up, I was starting to think I was missing something. Even reading the paper didn't clear things up (although given it has a typo within the first three words I wasn't expecting anything particuarly high quality). This has absolutely nothing to do with quantum computing. It's an actual physical measurement using a pretty standard photon counting system, which they then claim is faster than doing a simulation of said system. Well yes, no shit.
