| contents | Quantum computing has the potential to deliver large advantages on computational tasks, but advantages for practical tasks are not yet achievable with current hardware. Quantum sensing is an entirely separate quantum technology that can provide its own kind of a quantum advantage. In this Perspective, we explain how the merger of quantum sensing with quantum computing has recently given rise to the notion of quantum computational sensing, and a new kind of quantum advantage: a quantum computational-sensing advantage. This advantage can be realized with far lower hardware requirements than purely computational quantum advantage. We explain how several recent proposals and experiments can be understood as quantum computational sensing, and discuss categorizations of the general architectures that quantum-computational-sensing protocols can have. We conclude with an outlook on open questions and the prospects for quantum computational sensors and quantum computational-sensing advantage. |

Quantum Physics Quantum computing has the potential to deliver large advantages on computational tasks, but advantages for practical tasks are not yet achievable with current hardware. Quantum sensing is an entirely separate quantum technology that can provide its own kind of a quantum advantage.
