Google's Quantum Computer

The company said the discovery marks the first-ever verifiable quantum advantage, meaning the results can be independently repeated and confirmed by other quantum systems

Google introduces its new quantum computing chip Willow. OpenAI releases video generator Sora. Moto g35 5G budget smartphone launched. Reddit Answers AI. Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

Google claims its new Willow chip completed a task in under 5 minutes, a calculation the fastest supercomputer would take 10 septillion years to perform

In a paper published in the journal Nature, Google said that it has found a way to string together the Willow chip's qubits so that error rates go down as the number of qubits goes up

Quantum computing is the holy grail of scientists and researchers, but it's still decades away from reality. However, Google's parent company, Alphabet Inc., moved the ball down the field last month

Quantum computing has been gaining pace in recent times as tech leaders look to solve scale related problems that need high computing power

Now, scientists in China have done the computation in a few hours with ordinary processors. A supercomputer, they say, could beat Sycamore outright

Xi Jinping's government is building a $10 billion National Laboratory for Quantum Information Sciences as part of a big push in the field

The ultra-powerful machine has the potential to disrupt everything from science and medicine to national security - assuming it works
