Google has launched Willow, a quantum chip that performs tasks faster than traditional computers can in 10 septillion years.
Google has finally launched Willow, its newest quantum chip. The Mountain View tech giant boasts that this quantum computing chip can perform tasks that would take traditional computers ten septillion years (or, ten billion billion billion years) in just five minutes.
That’s 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years, as Google claims. It’s a lot of numbers, which exceed far beyond our own existence on Earth as humans. Google says that Willow demonstrates a benchmark performance 10^25 times faster than today’s supercomputers, greatly reduces error rates from its predecessor, and achieves quantum error correction as it scales up.
