Google Willow Quantum Chip

Google Willow Quantum Chip

In quantum computing field achieving breakthrough progress news always received industry attention. December 2024, Google quantum AI division unveiled 105 qubit superconducting quantum processor codenamed Willow. According to Google official claims, Willow chip completed special random circuit sampling benchmark test. Completing this computation only took 5 minutes, whereas todays fastest supercomputers would require approximately 1000 septillion years. Although this comparison certain sense theoretical, Willow progress in quantum error correction marks practical quantum computing future could closer previously expected.
