… Google doesn’t just abandon them like almost every other cool thing they’ve stumbled into. And, of course, assuming they’re even telling the truth.
It measures just 4cm squared but it possesses almost inconceivable speed.
Google has built a computing chip that takes just five minutes to complete tasks that would take 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years for some of the world’s fastest conventional computers to complete.
That’s 10 septillion years, a number that far exceeds the age of our known universe…
Quantum computing – which harnesses the discovery that matter can exist in multiple states at once – is predicted to have the power to carry out far bigger calculations than previously possible and so hasten the creation of nuclear fusion reactors and accelerate the impact of artificial intelligence, notably in medical science…
The best thing in this story was the pointy-head who explained that it so fast because it was, sort of, working simultaneously in multiple universes
