Google reveals a Super computer that can solve in minutes issues that need thousands of years
Google announced Wednesday (October 23rd) that it has made a breakthrough in computing research by using a quantum computer to solve a complex problem within minutes, although it could take thousands of years to solve it using the most powerful traditional computers currently.
Google researchers expect quantum computers to promote progress in areas such as artificial intelligence, materials science, and chemistry within a few years. The U.S. tech giant is competing with companies such as IBM and Microsoft to be the first to market the technology and sell it through cloud computing units.
“We hope that when people start using this and consider the stability of performance and the cloud, they’ll be excited about what we’re offering at Google,” John Martinez, Google’s chief computer scientist, told reporters.
The official confirmation of Google’s breakthrough came after weeks of controversy after the draft was leaked on Google’s eligibility to claim “quantum superiority.”
In a blog post, Google CEO Sundar Pichai likened the new achievement by building the first rocket to leave the earth’s atmosphere and touch the edge of space, a progress that brought interplanetary travel to the world of the possible.
