Google unveiled its latest quantum processor, Willow- transforming quantum computing from technical curiosity to a practical tool.

Google's new quantum chip, Willow, showed that it can outperform the best supercomputers in some cases, but experts say that using quantum computers for practical uses is still years away. Google captivated the tech world Monday with Willow,

Willow, Google's latest quantum chip, advances error correction and scalability, bringing quantum computing closer to real-world applications

Google’s Willow chip achieved significant advancements in error correction and qubit stability. Quantum computing raises concerns about its ability to break blockchain encryption. Real-world applications

Experts believe that one day, quantum computers could make today’s systems of encryption utterly obsolete. But Google tells The Verge its new “breakthrough” Willow chip is nowhere near ready for that. “The Willow chip is not capable of breaking modern cryptography,” Google Quantum AI director and COO Charina Chou tells The Verge.

Google has unveiled Willow, its latest, greatest quantum computing chip that can tackle complex problems in a mere five minutes—an accomplishment that would currently take the world’s fastest super computers an unfathomable ten septillion (that is, 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) years to achieve.

Google's breakthrough in speed and error correction with its new quantum chip, while not immediately useful for most businesses, accelerates the timeline for quantum-safe security preparation and signals a critical moment for technology leaders to begin strategic planning for the quantum era.

Google's Willow chip beats the world's fastest supercomputers by a staggering margin while solving longstanding problems in quantum computing.

Google's new Willow quantum chip shows promising advances in error correction but remains far from threatening Bitcoin's security, which would require millions of qubits compared to Willow's 105.
