The tensor network approach used by the scientists from the Flatiron Institute and New York University to surpass IBM's quantum computer is not a new concept but has been optimized for this specific application. Tensor networks have been used in physics for a long time to study many-body quantum systems, like electrons in a superconductor or the atoms in a molecule.

This is kind of hilarious on the face of it. They've modeled a quantum computer on a normal transistor based computer and it solves the problem "with more accuracy."

Less than a year after IBM’s achievement, a team of scientists from the Flatiron Institute and New York University has figured out a way to beat Big Blue’s quantum computer using a classical computer with a new method called a tensor network approach.
