Google unveils 'mind-boggling' quantum computing chip

Published On Dec 9, 2024, 11:00 AM

Google has introduced a new quantum chip called "Willow" that drastically outperforms traditional supercomputers in solving complex problems, claiming tasks that would take 10 septillion years for conventional computers can be completed in just five minutes. However, experts caution that while Willow represents significant progress in quantum computing, it remains largely experimental and practical applications are still years away. Some see Willow as a notable milestone in the field, especially due to advancements in error correction, but further developments are necessary before quantum computers become widely usable for various commercial applications.
