Quantum Computing Advantage

Quantum Advantage Formally Proved for Short-Depth Quantum Circuits @ InfoQ

what is proven?

"parallel quantum algorithms running in a constant time period are strictly more powerful than their classical counterparts; they are probably better at solving certain linear algebra problems associated with binary quadratic forms."
Quantum advantage with shallow circuits | Science

Quantum supremacy - Wikipedia

"Quantum supremacy or quantum advantage is the potential ability of quantum computing devices to solve problems that classical computers practically cannot.[1] In computational complexity-theoretic terms, this generally means providing a superpolynomial speedup over the best known or possible classical algorithm"
