While everyone is focusing on artificial intelligence, Google has broken the limit of 'time'.
It is said that their quantum chip solved a problem that even the fastest supercomputers in the world couldn't solve in 100 billion trillion years in just 5 minutes.
And this is just the beginning...
Here is key information about the Willow chip and how it will change human society after 2030: Google tested the performance of the Willow chip to verify how powerful it is.
The test task is a benchmark problem called random circuit sampling.
This problem would take the fastest supercomputer in the world 100 billion trillion years to complete. This number may sound unbelievable:
→ The age of the universe: 13.8 billion years (13,800,000,000 years).
→ The specific number of 1 billion trillion years: 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
However, Google's Willow chip completed this task in just 5 minutes. Google's experts say we may not see commercial quantum computers until 2030.
There are still some major challenges that need to be overcome:
• Improve the accuracy of operations;
• Develop application scenarios closer to everyday life;
• Reduce the cost of using quantum computing;
There are more problems waiting to be solved... Now, let's celebrate this milestone achievement.
The Willow chip is like the Wright brothers' first flight — it proves that anything is possible.
Although we won’t be boarding a 'quantum jet' anytime soon, Willow may have already opened the door to infinite possibilities.
