Introducing Willow, our new state-of-the-art quantum computing chip with a breakthrough that can reduce errors exponentially as we scale up using more qubits, cracking a 30-year challenge in the field. In benchmark tests, Willow solved a standard computation in <5 mins that would take a leading supercomputer over 10^25 years, far beyond the age of the universe(!).

Superspreading Events are the driving force behind the Covid-19 pandemic.
So to contain the virus it's crucial to understand the typical features of SSEs.
To that end I've created a database with 1,100 Covid-19 Superspreading Events from around the world
