Google attains ”quantum supremacy” with chip of the future
Google has reportedly built a quantum computer that is way ahead than world”s top supercomputers in calculation – solving tasks in nearly three minutes that would otherwise take current supercomputers 10,000 years to achieve.
According to a report in Financial Times on Friday, a Google research paper has claimed the feat, saying “their processor was able to perform a calculation in three minutes and 20 seconds that would take today”s most advanced classical computer, known as Summit (from IBM), approximately 10,000 years”.
“To our knowledge, this experiment marks the first computation that can only be performed on a quantum processor,” wrote the Google researchers.
