Google's new quantum chip solves complex problem in minutes instead of billions of years

If tweet fails to load, click here. quote:
Today I’m delighted to announce Willow, our latest quantum chip. Willow has state-of-the-art performance across a number of metrics, enabling two major achievements.
- The first is that Willow can reduce errors exponentially as we scale up using more qubits. This cracks a key challenge in quantum error correction that the field has pursued for almost 30 years.
- Second, Willow performed a standard benchmark computation in under five minutes that would take one of today’s fastest supercomputers 10 septillion (that is, 10^25) years — a number that vastly exceeds the age of the Universe.

Even Elon Musk was impressed looking at his response to that tweet. Does it mean it can mine all the bitcoins in the world in a day if it wanted to?
Is Google the Xerox PARC of the 21st century? All the coolest research in the world, but without the ability to monetize it even if their lives depended on it.

All your BTC are belong to Willow

Hopefully it means that computer hardware prices will come down.

I watched a 20 minute mini-documentary on quantum computing and now I am an expert. The problem right now is that the chips don't like warm weather and prefer the thermostat set at absolute zero.

So in 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years we will know if it solved the problem correctly. Nice!

But more importantly, will this havethe same effect on crawfish prices?

awesome. now put it in a killer drone and any hope we as humans have of destroying it before it kills us are gone forever.

shite. Now our passwords will need to be 20 characters long with a minimum of two special characters. How am I supposed to remember that crap?

It does nothing, completely useless. Ironically even google is offering 5 MILLION dollars to even come up with a single fricking use for this crap.
Still no takers.
Clickbait is all it is.

…until it does. Do you reality believe quantum computing will not find numerous use cases?

Would be great for hurricane forecasting

Yeah, it's starting to smell a little Skynetty around here.

The fact they were able to produce it is the point. The 2 primary drawbacks to quantum computing is it must be supercooled (lots of infrastructure) and cosmic rays disrupting/corrupting data. Once they figure those issues out, the everyday uses will develop.
Pepperidge Farms remembers when computers were massive, taking up huge rooms. Your phone is so many times more powerful. People said then the computers were basically useless.

Yes... so much for block chain crypto.
Also... can it decrypt today's most secure codes in a flash?
Yes again.

It'll also make your girl have multiple orgasms in 2.4 seconds!
AI hype starting to die down, gotta sell something.

Quantum computing is really good at solving specific problems. That’s why if a quantum computer is built that can decrypt RSA encryption it would be worthless against a completely different encryption algorithm.

Who TF is David Deustch? Because the Bible describes a multiverse and I believe that predates David.
