Google's willow to usher in a new tech order
BENGALURU: Will Google’s monumental tech revolution—the next-gen quantum computing chip, Willow—bring about civilizational change, or will it usher in a paradigm shift in services and applications across critical areas? On December 9, the tech giant announced Willow, a next-generation quantum computing chip that “performed a computation in under five minutes, which would take one of today’s fastest supercomputers 10²⁵ years—or 10 septillion years,” said Google. They have demonstrated that errors decrease exponentially as the number of qubits increases, thus underlining the real possibility of scalable quantum computers,” said Prof. Bhanu Das, Director of the Centre for Quantum Engineering, Research, and Education in Kolkata and Professor Emeritus at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan. “Willow is a remarkable discovery that has the potential to revolutionize various fields—from health to weather, banking, businesses, security, defence, and more—besides creating employment opportunities,” said Prof. Debabrata Das, Director of the International Institute of Information Technology-Bangalore, speaking to TNIE.
