A few days ago, Google reported: its quantum computer, the so-called Sycamore, solved a problem in 3 minutes and 20 seconds. A regular depository would take 10,000 years.
Sundar Pichai, Google's executive director with the first rocket. "For those of us who work in science and technology, this is an important moment in our quest to make quantum computing a reality."
In the quantum world, a particle can be matter and wave at the same time, having the ability to cross a wall as a ghost or simply collide with it. Or even better, you can do two things at once, until someone observes and leaves a state. Returning to the computer, this means that if a traditional computer processes information over bits that are 0 or 1, then 'Quantum cousins' make quits that value both 0 and 1 at a time. This is overlap, and it causes fracture within the boundaries drawn above, since all options and combinations are considered in the resolution process.
Google has developed a microprocessor with 54 qubits.
Even though Google has achieved quantum excellence, after 13 years of work, there is still a lot of work left. At the moment, they are not capable of solving real problems in the world, but they have taken the first step. The world's most saving day
"Quantum computing allows us to understand and simulate the natural world, at its molecular level. With this milestone we are one step closer to quantum application, such as designing more efficient batteries, manufacturing fertilizers by reducing energy, or finding molecules that synthesize more effective medicines."
Quantum computing around encryption will be very useful in national security. With a quantum computer, if it would work non-stop, it would easily exceed the crypto limit. And in this competition are the United States and China, but no one has succeeded yet.
However, it must be said that IBM's biggest enemy, Google, doesn't believe it has achieved "quantum superiority".
