Google’s willow to usher in a new tech order

BENGALURU: Will Google’s monumental tech revolution—the next-gen quantum computing chip, Willow—bring about civilizational change, or will it usher in a paradigm shift in services and applications across critical areas?

On December 9, the tech giant announced Willow, a next-generation quantum computing chip that “performed a computation in under five minutes, which would take one of today’s fastest supercomputers 10²⁵ years—or 10 septillion years (10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years),” said Google.
