Google has announced a major milestone in quantum computing, claiming that its latest quantum processor can perform calculations far beyond the reach of even the most powerful classical supercomputers. The breakthrough marks a new step in the race toward building practical and scalable quantum machines.
The company says its new chip, named “Quantum AI v3”, can solve certain complex problems 1,000 times faster than its previous version, Sycamore. This advancement could open new doors in fields like drug discovery, cryptography, material science, and artificial intelligence.
According to Google Quantum AI lead Dr. Hartmut Neven, “We’ve entered a new era where quantum computers can outperform classical systems not just in theory, but in practice.”
Experts say that while quantum computers are still in their early stages, Google’s results show how close we are to real-world quantum applications. The company plans to collaborate with research institutions and businesses to explore use cases for this technology.
