Google's Quantum Chip Can Do in 5 Minutes What Would Take Other Computers 10 Septillion Years
In 2019, Google previously did a quantum computation in 200 seconds that would have taken the fastest supercomputer at that time 10,000 years. But IBM dismissed its claims, arguing that a classical computer could do the same calculation with greater "fidelity" in 2.5 days and argued that "quantum supremacy" had yet to be achieved.
Google's New Quantum AI Chip Makes a Big Processing Leap
Google has unveiled its latest quantum computing chip, called Willow, saying it delivers groundbreaking capabilities in error correction and computational power -- like completing a complex computing challenge in five minutes that would take one of today's fastest supercomputers 10 septillion years, or far longer than the universe has been around.
Google says its new quantum chip indicates that multiple universes exist
Google announced its latest quantum chip, Willow. But what really caught the industry's attention was a wild claim tucked into the blog post.
Google has unveiled a new quantum computer chip that cracks a '30-year challenge in the field'
Google has unveiled a new chip that it says reduces errors and vastly outperforms standard benchmarks.
Google Says Its New Quantum Chip May Prove Parallel Universes Exist
Hartmut Neven, the founder and lead of Google Quantum AI, stated this week that Willow's extraordinary performance—capable of performing in minutes tasks that would take supercomputers billions of years—could be explained by the concept of parallel universes.
Google’s breakthrough Willow chip means we’ll get useful quantum computers sooner than some people thought
Quantum chips like Willow operate on a much smaller scale. The qubits that make up these high powered chips are roughly the size of an atom, and operate via the rules of quantum mechanics. The chips pack a computing punch at a miniscule level and with potentially better energy efficiency than supercomputers, but they’re also limited in their uses.
Google’s Quantum Boost Doesn’t Really Compute
Alphabet’s sagging stock has been primed for any good news, but quantum computing’s payoff is years away at best.
Why Google's quantum computing breakthrough is such a big deal
Google's Willow chip reduces errors exponentially, addressing a problem the industry has faced for almost 30 years.
Google says newly-developed chip 'Willow' overcomes quantum computing hurdle
Google says their researchers developed a new chip, "Willow," they say overcomes a main hurdle in quantum computing.
Google parent Alphabet jumps on quantum chip breakthrough
Shares of Google parent Alphabet rose about 5% on Tuesday after it unveiled a new generation chip that the company said helped overcome a key challenge in quantum computing.
Google says its breakthrough quantum chip can’t break modern cryptography
The Willow chip is not capable of breaking modern cryptography,” Google Quantum AI director and COO Charina Chou tells The Verge. A so-called “cryptanalytically relevant quantum computer,” or CRQC, could “jeopardize civilian and military communications,
