Reply to comment by [deleted] in AMD Now Powers 101 of the World's Fastest Supercomputers by Avieshek

Then quantum computers would simply become the next supercomputers as it's just a term for commercial purposes with multiple stacks, you do realise that right?

What we are using can be termed as Classical Computers and if tomorrow's iPhone is a quantum computer onto everyone's hands then there's no reason a supercomputer in a University then would still be a classical computer.

Quantum computers are not a more powerful version of a supercomputer; they do different kinds of calculations, and solve problems differently, so they are used to solve different kinds of problems. They are not a replacement for supercomputers.

As said, Quantum & Classical are different breed of computers where there’s no parallel between and please refrain from twisting into your own version where nothing has been said regarding “Quantum being more powerful than Supercomputer” when I have just stated what supercomputer itself is to be comparing with quantum which is dumb.
