Google says its breakthrough quantum chip can’t break modern cryptography
Experts believe that one day, quantum computers could make today’s systems of encryption utterly obsolete. But Google tells The Verge its new “breakthrough” Willow chip is nowhere near ready for that. “The Willow chip is not capable of breaking modern cryptography,” Google Quantum AI director and COO Charina Chou tells The Verge.
Google's Quantum Chip Can Do in 5 Minutes What Would Take Other Computers 10 Septillion Years
In 2019, Google previously did a quantum computation in 200 seconds that would have taken the fastest supercomputer at that time 10,000 years. But IBM dismissed its claims, arguing that a classical computer could do the same calculation with greater "fidelity" in 2.5 days and argued that "quantum supremacy" had yet to be achieved.
