量子计算机科学的一个主要目标是找到一个解释,即量子计算机比经典计算机更强大。在本文中,我认为,要回答这个问题是比较各种算法的过程,并描述与这些过程相关的可能性空间。通过这样做,我们解释了一个过程是如何超越其竞争对手的。此外,在这个例子和类似的例子中,在随后提出一个如何实际的问题时几乎没有什么收获。一旦解释了如何可能,就没有什么可做的了。
A primary goal of quantum computer science is to find an explanation for the fact that quantum computers are more powerful than classical computers. In this paper I argue that to answer this question is to compare algorithmic processes of various kinds and to describe the possibility spaces associated with these processes. By doing this, we explain how it is possible for one process to outperform its rival. Further, in this and similar examples little is gained in subsequently asking a how-actually question. Once one has explained how-possibly, there is little left to do.
