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,

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

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.

Google announced its latest quantum chip, Willow. But what really caught the industry's attention was a wild claim tucked into the blog post.

The latest advancements, however, may signal major progress toward building a large-scale quantum computer capable of addressing complex scientific and societal challenges. Unlike

Google has made an eyebrow-raising claim, arguing that its new uber-powerful quantum computer suggests we live inside a multiverse. The search giant recently unveiled a new quantum computer chip, dubbed Willow,

Google announced a new quantum chip capable of solving in just five minutes a problem so complex that it would take the world’s best supercomputers 10 septillion years to solve. To put that into perspective,

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