A new opinion editorial published by the Scientific American, co-authored by physics professor Ian Durham of St. Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire, argued that the term "quantum supremacy" should be abandoned because it shares a word with the term "white supremacy." Durham wrote that given the lack of diversity in physics and computing, the use of "'quantum supremacy' can come across as adding insult to injury." The piece suggested the use of "quantum primacy" instead.
