Summary
Google unveiled its “Willow” quantum computing chip, claiming it can solve problems in minutes that would take supercomputers 10 septillion years.
While hailed as a breakthrough, experts note it remains experimental, with practical applications years away.
Willow’s key advance is error correction, addressing a long-standing challenge in quantum computing by reducing errors as qubits increase.
The chip, developed in Google’s new facility, highlights global competition in the field.
Although promising for tasks like drug development and logistics, widespread use and lower error rates are still required. Findings were published in Nature.

Subhuman lemmy posters: “We are spending way too much!!! $0.5m on scientific research!!! Outrageous!”
Me: “Bro we spend billions killing children around the world who tf cares there are other places you should be concerned about budget.”
Subhuman lemmy posters: “Errrm actually stfu stop bringing that up, we want to cut everything but that!”
kys you people are freaks, this place is just as bad as reddit, entirely comprised of genocidal US ultranationalist sociopaths. I need to go to a forum that is not English-speaking.
