Google on Monday said that it has overcome a key challenge in quantum computing with a new generation of chip, solving a computing problem in five minutes that would take a classical computer more ...

"That also allows them to say things like 'this would have taken a septillion years on a conventional computer' etc." Willow is a 100-qubit, or quantum-bit, chip.

Google has unveiled its new chip, Willow, which outperforms current computer benchmarks. Google says the chip solves a 30-year hurdle and advances quantum computing for commercial uses.

In 2019, IBM challenged Google’s claim that Google’s quantum chip solved a problem that would take a classical computer 10,000 years, saying the problem could be solved in two-and-a-half days ...

Combined with other chip advancements—like the DNA chips we've heard about recently—these AI-created computer chips could be the start of a very bright future for computers.

SANTA BARBARA, California, Dec 9 (Reuters) - Google (GOOGL.O) on Monday said that it has overcome a key challenge in quantum computing with a new generation of chip, solving a computing problem in ...

The results released Monday came from a new chip called Willow that has 105 "qubits," which are the building blocks of quantum computers. Qubits are fast but error-prone, because they can be ...
