Alphabet Inc.’s quantum computer needs just five minutes to solve a problem that would take supercomputers around 10 septillion years. Google’s next task: coming up with an actual use for all that theoretical power.
Google said its computer using the new Willow quantum chip beat the Frontier supercomputer in running a benchmark algorithm, doing in minutes what would take Frontier 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years — far longer than the age of the universe. That’s exponentially faster than Google’s stated performance five years ago, when it said it could solve a 10,000-year task in minutes.
Various methodologies are vying to win the quantum computing arena. Google’s technology is called superconducting qubits, also used by rivals International Business Machines Corp. and Amazon.com Inc., and the Willow chips are made with tools similar to those used to make conventional microchips. But Google also recently invested in QuEra Computing Inc which uses what’s known as neutral atom qubits. A qubit is the basic unit of information in quantum computing.
