Google's 105-Qubit Willow Chip Marks Quantum Computing Breakthrough, Solving in Minutes What Takes Supercomputers 10 Septillion Years
Dec 10, 2024, 09:40 AM
Google has unveiled Willow, a new quantum computing chip that can perform computations in under five minutes that would take today's fastest supercomputers 10^25 years—or 10 septillion years—to complete, surpassing the age of the universe. The chip features 105 superconducting qubits and demonstrates exponential error reduction as the number of qubits increases, an achievement that represents beyond breakeven error correction. This breakthrough addresses a 30-year challenge in quantum computing, moving the field closer to practical, large-scale applications.
