London | Alphabet’s Google ran an algorithm on its “Willow” quantum-computing chip that can be repeated on similar platforms and outperform classical supercomputers, a breakthrough it said clears a path for useful applications of quantum technology within five years.
The “Quantum Echoes” algorithm, detailed in a paper published on Wednesday (Thursday AEDT) in the science journal Nature, is verifiable, meaning it can be repeated on another quantum computer.
