Hybrid quantum-classical
computing systems
The combination of hybrid quantum-classical
computing systems offers a practical and immediate
way to tap into quantum capabilities. Its relevance lies in the ability to integrate the emerging potential
of quantum computing with the established
reliability of classical systems. This approach serves
as a bridge between the deterministic nature of
classical computing and the probabilistic, parallel
characteristics of quantum mechanics, allowing for
more feasible near-term applications.
