Are there already hypothetical durations of how long a continuous-variable gate would take on a continuous-variable quantum computer?

Quantum Computing Asked by mikanim on April 13, 2021

I’ve heard that you run up against the very large constant factors when comparing run times of quantum and classical computers — things simply take much longer in a carefully controlled quantum setup than in a GHz CPU. So even though a quantum algorithm may have exponential speed-up, we will start with a big constant-factor disadvantage and only realize an actual speed-up once the problem is large enough that the scaling advantage overcomes the constant factor. But what are these constant factors? So this question is actually two:

  1. Are there already hypothetical durations of how long a continuous-variable gate would take on a continuous-variable quantum computer?
  2. What are these constant factors that makes the speed up for quantum algorithms on qc more difficult?
