Google reported it achieved a major milestone in quantum computing earlier this week. The company says it ran an algorithm on its “Willow” quantum chip that is verifiable and 13,000 times faster than today’s best supercomputers. Charina Chou, Chief Operating Officer at Google Quantum AI, tells “Bloomberg Tech” why this step brings quantum a step closer to real-world use.

They said that 5 years ago also. When are people going to understand that companies always hype their future tech and products so that their stock value goes up?

Her role is COO.. what is your real life designation .. failed husband father man social media evangelist ?
@pinonXO

She’s not in marketing. I actually prefer marketers because they help put things in simple terms.
Quantum geeks over explain things, and it makes it hard for people to get on board.

when they discover the precise molecule to cure an incurable disease or the precise mutation code to put into the dna in that specific strand of the code in order to cure that incurable disease for example, we will finally see the actual outcome of the technology else is just pretty words

Don’t jump the gun, quantum computing on a practical mass-use scale is years or decades away, if ever. Tech talkingheads are gaslighting us to believe this is just around the corner. It likely isn’t.

To the people saying it’s just a marketing stunt. Maybe it’s a marketing stunt, but you do realize that this is feasible.
And we’ll probably see real world application of it in at least ten years from now right?
And if you don’t, then people probably believed the same thing about smart phones not so long ago. But here we are

I’d be interested to know how the advancement in AI, particularly under Alphabets own roof, are helping push the development of quantum, but I doubt they’ll be will to share that.

Great so when quantum becomes useable it will only be used for war, profit and to control useven more. Wohoo can’t wait
