Advancements in Quantum Computing

Google's development of the 105-qubit Willow quantum chip represents a significant milestone by achieving quantum error correction. This advancement reduces the need for error correction as qubits increase, allowing the chip to solve complex problems far quicker than classical supercomputers. For instance, a benchmark algorithm that would take a supercomputer 10 septillion years to complete can be solved in just five minutes by Willow. With improved stability of qubits and potential applications in areas such as cryptography, Google's next steps could lead to practical uses within business settings in a rapidly approaching future.
