Google researchers have discovered a "stable computationally complex phase" that can be achieved with existing quantum processors.

This means that when quantum computers enter this specific "weak noise phase," they can perform complex calculations that outpace the performance of the fastest supercomputers.

The data produced by quantum computers is still noisy, meaning they still need to do fairly intensive quantum "error correction" as the number of qubits rises.
