However, while Google's achievements have been noted for advancing the field, experts say that quantum computing still has no real-world uses — yet. Proponents of quantum computing claim it will be able to solve problems that current computers can't. Quantum computing uses quantum bits or qubits which can be zero, one or something in between. This is a very important milestone for quantum computers." But despite optimism that quantum computing could one day change the world — or at least computers' role in it — experts in the field have suggested that Google's quantum computing breakthrough is still lacking in real-world uses.

Google on Monday said that it has overcome a key challenge in quantum computing with a new generation of chip, solving a computing problem in five minutes that would take a classical computer more time than the history of the universe. Like other tech giants such as Microsoft and IBM, Alphabet’s Google is chasing quantum computing because it promises computing speeds far faster than today’s fastest systems. As more qubits are packed onto a chip, those errors can add up to make the chip no better than a conventional computer chip. “We are past the break even point,” Hartmut Neven, who leads the Google Quantum AI unit, said in an interview. Some of Google’s rivals are producing chips with a larger number of qubits than Google, but Google is focused on making the most reliable qubits it can, Anthony Megrant, chief architect for Google Quantum AI, said in an interview.
