Google achieves ‘quantum supremacy’ with new supercomputer, but rivals are skeptical
(Worthy News) – Google announced today in an article published in the journal Nature that it has finally pulled off the computing benchmark, after a leak last month hinted at the feat. The company claims its quantum computer, which runs on a 54-qubit chip called Sycamore, took only 3 minutes and 20 seconds to calculate a problem that would take the world’s fastest computer 10,000 years to solve, Google says.
Classical computers have bits that exist as either a 1 or a 0, while quantum computers have bits, called qubits, that can exist in multiple states at the same time. Thus, processors like Sycamore carry twice the amount of information and exponentially calculate more computations than today’s most powerful classical supercomputers.
