Q-score

The largest Max-Cut optimisation problem, in number of variables, that a machine solves noticeably better than random guessing.

When results can be compared

Comparable when run to the published protocol. It tests one kind of optimisation problem, not general ability.

Where it comes from

Atos researchers (Martiel, Ayral, Allouche), 2021.
