Google’s Willow Chip Reaches Computational Capacity Milestone

Willow can achieve in five minutes what current supercomputers would need ten septillion years to complete.

Google has introduced a groundbreaking quantum computer prototype that marks a significant milestone in computational capability. This new machine achieves what current supercomputers would require ten septillion years—an incomprehensibly vast period exceeding the universe’s age—to compute, completing the task in a mere five minutes. This advancement, announced Monday, is powered by “Willow,” Google’s latest quantum computing chip.
