| contents | In this article, we take a close look at Entropy Quantum Computing (EQC), a computational paradigm developed by Quantum Computing Inc. (QCi), which deviates from mainstream quantum computing by embracing rather than battling environmental noise and decoherence arXiv:2407.04512 . In their words this approach purports EQC as an open quantum system that turns "entropy into super-power fuels of its computing engine". We show that some of the claims in the main article can be made more rigorous, and yet these are still not good enough to beat state of the art classical algorithms on conventional classical computers. Note that these conclusions reflect the technology's current early stage of development and are not meant to discourage its pursuit. Continued rigorous exploration is necessary to fully assess the long-term viability and potential advantages of this distinct computational approach. |
