Google has been at the forefront of quantum computing research for many years. In 2019, the company announced that their Sycamore processor had achieved quantum supremacy.
This is what Google posted on its blog “We published the results of this quantum supremacy experiment today in the Nature paper, ‘Quantum delegation using a programmable superconducting processor.'”
“We have developed a new 54-qubit processor, called “Sycamore”, which includes high-speed, high-fidelity quantum logic gates, to perform benchmark testing. Our machine does the target calculation in 200 seconds, and from the measurements in our testing, we determined that the world’s fastest supercomputer would take 10,000 years to produce the same results.” it added.

In a recent update, researchers working on this quantum computing project revealed that Google’s new quantum computer can perform calculations instantly, while supercomputers the world’s strongest power takes up to 47 years to complete similar tasks.
The new quantum computer has 70 qubits, 17 more than the previous model’s 53 qubits. This increase in qubits makes the new machine 241 million times faster and more powerful than the 2019 version.
Quantum computing is a type of computing that uses quantum mechanics to perform calculations. Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics that deals with the behavior of matter at the atomic and subatomic levels.
Quantum computers use qubits instead of bits to store and process information. Qubits can exist in a superposition, meaning they can be both 0 and 1 at the same time. This allows quantum computers to perform calculations exponentially faster than classical computers.
Google’s new quantum leap is an important development in the field of quantum computing. This shows that Google is still at the forefront of this research and suggests that quantum computing is closer than ever.
The new announcement was made through the Cornell University website and states “Using cross-entropy comparison, we observe phase boundaries that can determine the computational complexity of noisy quantum evolution.”
“We conclude by presenting an RCS test with 70 qubits over 24 cycles. We evaluate the computational cost compared with the improved classical methods and show that our test exceeds the capability. capabilities of existing classical supercomputers,” it added.
In short, Google’s new quantum leap is an important achievement that brings humanity closer to the day when quantum computers become a reality. This technology has the potential to revolutionize many different industries and it will be interesting to see how it develops in the coming years.
