Description

Quantum computing is making giant leaps forward, with new chips from Google and Microsoft pushing the boundaries of speed, accuracy, and error correction. Google's Willow Chip has achieved an unprecedented reduction in errors, solving problems in minutes that would take supercomputers 10 septillion years. Meanwhile, Microsoft’s Majorana 1 is pioneering a whole new kind of quantum processor, using topological qubits to build the foundation for fault-tolerant quantum computers. These advancements bring us closer to a world where quantum machines can solve complex problems in medicine, materials science, and AI—things that were once impossible
