Google has astounded the tech community with its revolutionary quantum chip, Willow, receiving accolades from industry experts. The unveiling of this cutting-edge technology has even caught the attention of Tesla’s Elon Musk, a surprising turn given his past disputes with Google’s CEO.
Musk recently criticized Google for alleged bias in search results favoring Kamala Harris over Donald Trump. However, his stance softened when he expressed admiration for “Willow,” acknowledging its potential to enhance quantum computing capabilities significantly.
In response to Musk’s previous comments, Google assured that they would investigate and rectify any issues raised. Musk then shifted gears to endorse “Willow,” praising its error-reducing and speed-enhancing features in quantum computing.
Google Quantum AI’s CEO Sundar Pichai introduced “Willow,” highlighting its breakthrough in error reduction as qubit numbers increase—a milestone achievement after three decades of challenges in the field.
Introducing Willow, our new state-of-the-art quantum computing chip with a breakthrough that can reduce errors exponentially as we scale up using more qubits, cracking a 30-year challenge in the field. In benchmark tests, Willow solved a standard computation in <5 mins that would…
