Google has unveiled Willow, its latest, greatest quantum computing chip that can tackle complex problems in a mere five minutes—an accomplishment that would currently take the world’s fastest super computers an unfathomable ten septillion (that is, 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) years to achieve.

Google’s recent announcement of its groundbreaking quantum computing chip, Willow, sent ripples not only through the tech world but also into the realm of theoretical physics. While the chip’s speed and reliability improvements are remarkable in themselves,

Quantum chips like Willow operate on a much smaller scale. The qubits that make up these high powered chips are roughly the size of an atom, and operate via the rules of quantum mechanics. The chips pack a computing punch at a miniscule level and with potentially better energy efficiency than supercomputers, but they’re also limited in their uses.

That’s why error correction has been a major focus for quantum computing companies in recent years. Now, Google’s new Willow quantum processor, unveiled Monday, has crossed a critical threshold suggesting that as the company’s devices get larger, their ability to suppress errors will improve exponentially.

Google argued that its new uber-powerful quantum computer is so fast that it may have tapped a parallel universe.

While Google's new chip called Willow has been noted for advancing the field of quantum computing, experts question the current real-world uses.

Google's Willow quantum chip achieves breakthrough performance but highlights gap between theoretical potential and practical applications.

Google's new quantum chip, Willow, can solve complex problems incredibly fast, raising concerns about Bitcoin's security. Experts assure that Bitcoin's encryption remains safe for now, as Willow's current capacity is insufficient to crack it.
