‘Ten septillion years’: Google makes another quantum computing breakthrough

Google unveiled a powerful new quantum computer prototype that compresses what would take today’s most powerful super computers ten septillion years (that’s more time than the universe has existed) to calculate into five minutes, the company announced Monday.

The new milestone is thanks to Willow, the company’s new quantum computing chip, which contains twice as many qubits, or quantum bits, as the previous model, called Sycamore.
