Read our privacy policy Google says it has made a new quantum computing chip that can be at least a billion times faster than the fastest traditional supercomputers. The new generation of quantum computer development, named Willow by Google, was the result of overcoming a key challenge that has held back quantum computing, Google said. In 2019, IBM challenged Google‘s claim that Google‘s quantum chip solved a problem that would take a classical computer 10,000 years, saying the problem could be solved in two-and-a-half days using different technical assumptions about a classical system. Even under the most idealistic conditions, Google said a classical computer would still take a billion years to get the same results as its newest chip.
