A human has outkissed one of Google’s superpowered artificial intelligence systems. The achievement isn’t in the realm of romance, however. Instead, this win is in the intellectual realm of advanced mathematics. While largely conceptual in nature, the ramifications could soon help boost advancements in telecommunications and satellite arrays.

Google says its quantum computer achieved a verifiable calculation that classic computers cannot. The work could point to future applications.

Today, Google and a large collection of academic collaborators are publishing a paper describing a computational approach that demonstrates a quantum advantage compared to current algorithms—and may actually help us achieve something useful.
