Has Google Turned A Corner In Quantum And AI Computing ?

Google has been making significant progress in the field of artificial intelligence and quantum computing in recent years. While many have doubted Google’s ability to compete against companies like Nvidia and Amazon Web Services, Google’s recent progress in the field is undeniable. Let’s take a closer look at their recent advancements across three key areas of computing.

First, let’s look at Google’s groundbreaking work in quantum computing with its new chip called Willow.

Willow: A Quantum Leap Forward

Google’s push into quantum computing is a bold move, investing billions into research and development. Lately, that investment seems to be paying off. The Willow chip is finally here, Samsung’s innovative 3nm chip fabrication technology is used in the making of this remarkable new chip. Willow stands out because it significantly reduces errors, often the bane of quantum computing. Willow’s design allows the chip to correct errors more effectively, paving the way for more powerful quantum computers.

Just how powerful is Willow? Back in 2024, Google announced the world’s first “supremacy,” a milestone achieved using the 53-qubit Sycamore processor, which traditional computers “take ultimate steps towards fully functional quantum devices.

The types of problems that the new Willow processor can tackling range from drug allergies to complex physics computations, things previously unthinkable for existing supercomputers
