In 2019, Google previously did a quantum computation in 200 seconds that would have taken the fastest supercomputer at that time 10,000 years. But IBM dismissed its claims, arguing that a classical computer could do the same calculation with greater "fidelity" in 2.5 days and argued that "quantum supremacy" had yet to be achieved.
Shares of Google parent Alphabet soared as much as 6% on Tuesday after the company teased a major breakthrough with its new quantum computing chip “Willow.”
AI gains 150MW power approval for its supercomputer, but locals fear impact on grid and future power availability.
Google has announced its latest quantum processor, dubbed Willow, and it shames the best supercomputers in some benchmarks.
Google's recent unveiling of its quantum processor, Willow, is not just a technological breakthrough but appears to be a big moonshot jump into the future of computing.
Google has reached an important milestone with its newest supercomputer, Willow, capable of performing incredibly complex tasks in mere minutes.
Cat is out of the box Google scientists have emerged from their smoke-filled labs with a new quantum processor capable of solving a problem in five minutes that would have taken the world's best supercomputer 10 septillion years.
Google's Quantum AI team unveils Willow, a quantum processor solving problems in minutes, with unprecedented error reduction.
Quantum computing represents massive opportunities if the company involved can be the first to market with a feasible device. Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) seems to be on that track, as a chip produced by its Google subsidiary just posted an unbelievable score on a benchmark test.
Experts believe that one day, quantum computers could make today’s systems of encryption utterly obsolete. But Google tells The Verge its new “breakthrough” Willow chip is nowhere near ready for that. “The Willow chip is not capable of breaking modern cryptography,” Google Quantum AI director and COO Charina Chou tells The Verge.
Google's quantum computing breakthrough on Monday has left the physicist who heads the project a believer in 'the idea that we live in a multiverse.' 'Willow,' the tech giant's new quantum chip ...
Google's new quantum chip, Willow, showed that it can outperform the best supercomputers in some cases, but experts say that using quantum computers for practical uses is still years away. Google captivated the tech world Monday with Willow,
