[Qp-l] Wang-ék megint dolgoztak

[Istvan Csabai]

Scott Aaronson volt az egyik referee, jól megdolgoztatta őket, ezt írja a
blogján :-) :

When I refereed the Science paper, I asked why the authors directly
verified the results of their experiment only for up to 26-30 photons,
relying on plausible extrapolations beyond that. While directly verifying
the results of n-photon BosonSampling takes ~2n time for any known
classical algorithm, I said, surely it should be possible with existing
computers to go up to n=40 or n=50? A couple weeks later, the authors
responded, saying that they’d now verified their results up to n=40, but it
burned $400,000 worth of supercomputer time so they decided to stop there.
This was by far the most expensive referee report I ever wrote!
