Google Quantum Chip This is a chip developed by Google, named Willow, which is many times faster than the speed of a supercomputer. Regarding this chip, the company has claimed that Willow has 105 qubits, which can solve the most difficult mathematics in 5 minutes. The launch of this chip has been announced by Google CEO Sundar Pichai on the social media platform X. Also, Elon Musk has also shown his interest in it.
The problem which could not be solved for 25 years will be solved in 5 minutes.
Google Quantum Chip Willow: Google has attracted the attention of Quantum Computing Willow chip. The supercomputer of the world which is currently in existence will take 10 safetylon i.e. 25 zeros after 1 to solve the calculation, this Willow chip will solve the same calculation in 5 minutes, Google has claimed. This is the biggest discovery in the field of quantum computing, it is considered to be better than the superfast computer processors made till now.
Sundar Pichai had posted about this on the social media platform X, due to which Elon Musk is also seen showing his interest. Due to this chip, concepts like parallel universe and multiverse have also started being discussed. This chip can change a lot in Google in the future.
What is quantum computing?
What does quantum mean? The smallest or unit of something especially energy. An attempt to make a powerful computer using fundamental particle principles in physics, such a powerful computer that we cannot even imagine. How does this quantum computer look like? Let’s see.
The photo of US President Joe Biden with IBM’s quantum computer went viral. Due to his astonishing appearance, it looks very different from the usual computers. Its shape is like an octopus. It is kept in a very cold place called Cryostate i.e. 15 millikelvin = -258.15 °C.
Quantum Bit?
The basic unit of quantum computer is qubit (QUBIT) which means quantum computer bit. These beads are not 0 or 1 like the usual bits. Every qubit can be both 0 and 1. The qubits of quantum computer interact with each other. Due to this, more information can be stored and processed at a faster speed. Trapped icons, photos or atoms can be used to make quantum computers.
What is the use of this superfast Willow chip?
It will help in understanding more complex and complicated things. Earlier, there were no tools to solve physics equations, but now this Willow chip can help in solving the equations.
Where can it be beneficial?
- The quantum computer Willow chip can help in researching the latest drug molecules.
- Google’s vice president of engineering Hartmut Neven has said that it can help in making better electric car batteries and even in nuclear reactors.
But there is a fear of using this quantum computer for wrong purposes. For example, RSA encryption is done to keep online transactions, chat messages and other sensitive data safe. Its encryption cannot be added to a supercomputer or a normal computer. But quantum computers can be used to add encryption.
At present, it is not going to be used for any application. It may take many years and billions of dollars for this quantum computer to have the capability to solve the world’s problems. Still, experts do not think that this quantum computer will be able to replace normal computers or supercomputers.
