This paper gives a lovely survey of the field of quantum computation, specifically geared towards our current level of technology in the world of superconducting qubits. This survey is especially interesting to read because of its authors - the top brass at IBM quantum. Oliver Dial is the CTO of IBM quantum, Jay Gambetta is the VP of IBM quantum, Dario Gil is the director of IBM research, and Sergey Bravyi is Sergey Bravyi. Thus, this paper reads less as a survey of the field and more as a statement of the direction of IBM quantum for the forseeable future.
None of the material in this paper is particularly new. It is, however, a great review for technically minded people who want details of how quantum computing is going to play out without reading the related research papers. It gets technical, but never too technical. It covers the use of super-polynomial speedups, error correction, error-mitigation, and how quantum computing should interface with classical computing.
