         | classical computers. However, they are now sufficiently
         | versatile to showcase demos in which they work as analog
         | computers, mimicking very complex states of matter that are
         | otherwise difficult to prepare in a lab or study in classical
         | simulations. It is not particularly practical yet, but it is a
         | convenient benchmark of versatility and "quantumness" on the
         | way to trully scalable universal quantum computers. Think of it
         | as a cool demo of some small part of the required
         | functionality. I imagine demos like this one will one day be
         | part of a benchmark suite for the low-level hardware of a
         | complete quantum computer.
