5 Impacts Google Willow Will Have on Data Centers
Google boasts a major breakthrough in quantum computing with its new Willow chip. The implications are staggering. Google claims that Willow takes about five minutes to perform a computation that would take the average modern supercomputer 10 septillion (1025) years to complete. They say that time span is older than the history of the universe; we’ll have to trust them on the math since our calculators can’t come close to handling that number. Additionally, Willow appears to reduce the error rate as it uses more qubits, which solves a 30-year-old problem in quantum computing. We’ll talk more about that in a moment, but the implications for future successful quantum computing […]
