Google Quantum Computer Purportedly Outperforms Supercomputers by 13,000 Times

  • Google Quantum AI researchers claim their Willow quantum chip achieved verifiable quantum advantage by running a calculation 13,000 times faster than the Frontier supercomputer, reported in Nature on October 22.
  • Quantum Echoes, a chaos-sensitive protocol, researchers claim, can apply to Nuclear Magnetic Resonance for molecular structure determination and speed drug and materials discovery.
  • Using 65 of Willow’s qubits, researchers applied sequences of quantum operations, perturbed a single qubit, then reversed the operations twice, producing complex quantum interference effects.
  • The study is preliminary and submitted as a preprint to arXiv, with Google researchers saying the algorithm could help derive molecular structures and improve molecular-structure applications.
  • Verification remains pending because another quantum computer has not yet reproduced the result, and some researchers caution the method currently applies to molecules like toluene already simulable classically.
