Quantum Computing - Neven's Law of Double Exponential Growth

  Neven’s law states that quantum computers are improving at a “doubly exponential” rate. If it holds, quantum supremacy is around the corner. Most of you will be familiar with  Moore 's Law that predicts  exponential   growth  in computing power - a doubling every 18 months. In the world of Quantum Computing, there is a law that predicts  double   exponential   growth . What does this mean ? Is it true ? Who made this law ? 1.1 Who is Neven? Hartmut Neven is an Engineering Director at Google. He is the founder of the the Quantum AI Lab. The objective of this lab is to fabricate quantum processors and dvelop novel quantum algorithms to dramatically accelerate computational tasks for machine intelligence. 2 What does Neven’s Double Exponential Law mean? https://www.quantamagazine.org/does-nevens-law-describe-quantum-computings-rise-20190618/ Neven said that quantum computers are gaining computational power relative to classical ones at a “doubly expon
