Quantum supremacy refers to the point at which a quantum computer can perform a calculation that is infeasible for even the most powerful classical supercomputers. It signifies a significant milestone in the field of quantum computing, demonstrating that quantum systems can solve certain problems more efficiently than classical systems. The term gained prominence in 2019 when Google announced that it had achieved quantum supremacy with its quantum processor, Sycamore.
