🔮🚀 "P-computers outperform quantum systems!" cries UCSB, leaving quantum physicists with a severe case of imposter syndrome. Meanwhile, everyone else is just trying to figure out why spin-glass isn't a type of fancy drinking vessel. 🍸🤔

New UCSB research shows p-computers can solve spin-glass problems faster than quantum systems
Researchers in Kerem Çamsari's lab and ECE professor Luke Theogarajan have demonstrated that their p-computer design can outperform a leading quantum annealer on the same “spin-glass” benchmarks commonly used to evaluate hard optimization problems.
