In a jaw-dropping display of technological prowess, Google Quantum AI shattered records in 2019 by solving a computation in a mere 200 seconds that would have stumped the world's fastest supercomputer for 10,000 years. Fast forward to 2024, and Google ups the ante with their latest chip Willow, showcasing a quantum leap in performance. The team, led by the likes of Hartmut Neven, Sergio Boixo, and John Preskill, delved into the groundbreaking implications of this quantum supremacy.
The sheer magnitude of progress is staggering, with the time required for a classical supercomputer to simulate Google's quantum benchmarks skyrocketing from 10,000 years to an astronomical ten septillion years on the Willow chip. This exponential surge in computing power underscores Google's relentless pursuit of innovation. Despite the hardware improvements, Google's quantum system still grapples with errors, necessitating multiple runs to distill usable data for comparison against classical simulations.
John Preskill's moniker "Quantum Supremacy" encapsulates Google's mission to push beyond classical computation and usher in a new era of quantum computing. By utilizing random circuit sampling, Google pits its experimental quantum processors against the crème de la crème of classical algorithms running on supercomputers. The roadmap laid out by Google in 2019 charts a course towards a quantum computer boasting a thousand well-protected logical qubits, with the team now on the cusp of the third milestone. Amidst this relentless pursuit of progress, early commercial applications are on the horizon, a testament to Google's unwavering optimism and determination.
