Whether current and next generation quantum computers solve relevant problems that are unachievable to our traditional devices remains an open question. A central question is whether the imperfections present in quantum computers can be overcome or it fundamentally restricts quantum computers. In this talk, I will present a way of comparing classical algorithms to quantum ones running on near-term quantum devices for a large family of problems that consist of minimizing a cost function, such as in optimization problems. I will then discuss the capability of current and next-generations quantum computer to solve relevant optimization problems.
The talk will be based on joint work with Daniel Stilck Franca
