Meet Willow, a state-of-the-art quantum chip.
Willow, the latest quantum chip. Willow boasts state-of-the-art performance across several key metrics, enabling two major achievements. This number
The first is that Willow can reduce errors exponentially as we scale up using more qubits. This cracks a key challenge in quantum error correction that the field has pursued for almost 30 years.
Second, Willow performed a standard benchmark computation in under five minutes that would take one of today’s fastest supercomputers 10 septillion (that is, 1025) years — a number that vastly exceeds the age of the Universe.
