Google unveils a ‘mindboggling’ quantum computing chip that can complete tasks in 5 minutes that would take the world’s fastest conventional computers 10 septillion years to complete.
Google has built a 4 cm squared computing chip called Willow that can complete tasks in just 5 minutes that would take the world’s fastest conventional computers 10 septillion years to complete.
The new quantum chip could supercharge the creation of new drugs by greatly speeding up the experimental development phase.
Quantum computing has the potential to greatly accelerate progress in fields like nuclear fusion, AI, and medical science, but also raises concerns about cracking encryption.
Experts are optimistic about the rapid progress in quantum computing, but caution that the current benchmark results are not for real-world applications yet.
Google is working with companies, academics, and startups to address challenges like quantum error correction and develop real-world applications for quantum computing
