Quantum Computing Takes a Giant Leap! Google’s Willow Chip Completes a 13.8 Billion Year Calculation in 5 Minutes, Leaving OpenAI Stunned
Google once again proves the magic of technological innovation. Today, the Willow quantum chip delivered a remarkable report card, achieving two groundbreaking breakthroughs in the field of quantum computing. Since the proposal of quantum error correction theory in 1995, scientists have been tackling the most stubborn problem in quantum computing: how to control the computational errors of quantum bits. Quantum bits are extremely fragile, easily affected by environmental noise, leading to information loss. It’s like writing in the sand; even a slight breeze can wipe it away. The Willow chip has completely changed this status quo.
