Explainer: Why Willow’s low-error pitch is remarkable
With 105 qubits and advanced error correction, Google’s new quantum computer chip Willow promises to change the world of quantum computing. Banasree Purkayastha looks at what makes Willow so fascinating and scary at the same time
What makes Willow unique?
Willow is Google’s new quantum computer chip that has demonstrated how to exponentially reduce errors in quantum computers while using more qubits to scale up the technology — something that researchers have been trying to solve for the last 30 years.
