qc-010Active research

Whether a NISQ device delivers a durable, practically relevant advantage for a specific real-world workload remains an active research question.

Evidence must compare an end-to-end quantum workflow with the best relevant classical methods under stated accuracy and cost constraints.

Limits of this claim

This is not a claim that no near-term advantage will occur; it records an unresolved evidential and engineering question.
