The passage around this formula
where the classical algorithm samples from an -norm-weighted data structure rather than reading the whole m n matrix, closing a gap previously measured only against a classical algorithm that read every entry [ 13 ] . The general lesson, sometimes called dequantization, is that an apparent exponential quantum speedup often measures the gap between a quantum algorithm and an unnecessarily weak classical baseline, and the gap can close once someone finds a better classical algorithm.
