This means equations are not always true. In the example above, \(3x + 5 = 11\), the only correct solution for \(x\) is 2. An identity is an equation which is always true, no matter what values ...

Having lowered the bar for the sense in which we hope to solve a system of linear equations, one might wonder whether this quantum algorithm 3 offers a real advantage over classical computing at all.
