Meet Willow: Our state-of-the-art quantum chip. It's the first quantum chip to show exponential error reduction as qubits scale, paving the way for large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers. Dive in → go.nature.com/3OKVLY6

Using random circuit sampling (RCS), we've demonstrated that quantum computers can outperform classical supercomputers, even with noise. This 'beyond classical' capability is possible because qubits can exist in multiple states at once, giving quantum computers an edge.

QUANTUM COMPUTING: THE FUTURE IS NOW
IBM recently announced a quantum computer capable of solving problems in minutes that would take today's supercomputers millions of years.
Developed by IBM, Google, and others, quantum computers push the boundaries of science and engineering, utilizing atomic forces to achieve unprecedented computational power.
A simple maze shows how quantum computing can outpace classic computers.
Michio Kaku:
“All the big boys who are in this race to create a workable, operationally efficient quantum computer because the nation or company that does this will rule the world economy.”

“This moment feels to us like the pioneers of the 1940s and 50s who were building the first digital computers,” Dario Gil, the head of research at IBM, says of quantum computing. cbsn.ws/3WBzG2L

"Even if any one of the algorithms proposed by NIST achieves universal acceptance as something that is unbreakable by a quantum computer, it would not be a simple matter of just swapping those algorithms in for the old-fashioned ones.
"Part of the challenge is that most systems that currently depend on public-key cryptography for their security are not necessarily capable of running the resource-heavy software used in post-quantum cryptography."
