Google has unveiled Willow, its latest, greatest quantum computing chip that can tackle complex problems in a mere five minutes—an accomplishment that would currently take the world’s fastest super computers an unfathomable ten septillion (that is, 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) years to achieve.

Quantum chips like Willow operate on a much smaller scale. The qubits that make up these high powered chips are roughly the size of an atom, and operate via the rules of quantum mechanics. The chips pack a computing punch at a miniscule level and with potentially better energy efficiency than supercomputers, but they’re also limited in their uses.

That’s why error correction has been a major focus for quantum computing companies in recent years. Now, Google’s new Willow quantum processor, unveiled Monday, has crossed a critical threshold suggesting that as the company’s devices get larger, their ability to suppress errors will improve exponentially.

Google argued that its new uber-powerful quantum computer is so fast that it may have tapped a parallel universe.

While Google's new chip called Willow has been noted for advancing the field of quantum computing, experts question the current real-world uses.

Google's Willow quantum chip achieves breakthrough performance but highlights gap between theoretical potential and practical applications.
