 Google has introduced Willow, a groundbreaking quantum computing chip capable of solving a problem in five minutes that would take traditional supercomputers 10 septillion years. This speed advantage comes from Willow’s qubits, which can represent multiple states simultaneously, unlike classical bits. While some experts argue that the error rate drops with added qubits and question the testability of this claim, Google asserts that Willow marks a crucial step toward creating scalable quantum computers. The company envisions its applications in real-world challenges like drug design and nuclear fusion, signaling progress in quantum technology development.
