" IBM, for example, says that its own conservative worst-case estimate of completing Google’s random number simulation on Summit is 2.5 days, and it would be performed with “far greater fidelity”. With further refinements and tweaks to code and system architecture it could reduce processing time further. In summary though, 2.5 days is not an unreasonable time for a computer to calculate a problem, so Google’s Sycamore system hasn’t demonstrated quantum supremacy, opines IBM."
