A Tale of Two Timelines: Which Quantum Algorithms Are Ready Today?
Quantum computing's promise is divided into algorithms for future fault-tolerant machines like Shor's and Grover's, and those for today's NISQ devices such as VQE and QAOA. Understanding this distinction is key to assessing near-term industrial potential versus long-term revolutionary ambition.
