Quantum computing can solve specific problems much faster than classical computing concepts. Promising applications include material science and chemistry as well as optimizations problems. In recent years, quantum computing has made significant progress, which raised interest of scientists, investors and potential users. In this talk, I would like to explain what makes quantum computers powerful and why this may require running computations many times to extract an answer from the statistics of the results. I will then discuss recent approaches to reduce this sampling effort.
