Google has unveiled its new chip, Willow, which outperforms current computer benchmarks. Google says the chip solves a 30-year hurdle and advances quantum computing for commercial uses. AdvertisementGoogle unveiled a new chip that it says reduces errors and vastly outperforms standard benchmarks in quantum computing. AdvertisementGoogle's development represents a key milestone in the decadeslong race to build quantum computers that are accurate enough to have practical applications. The director of Google's Quantum AI lab, Michael Cuthbert, told the BBC that commercial applications for a quantum computing chip would still not be available before 2030, at the earliest.
