Google's new quantum ai chip codenamed "willow" has not only been created but also successfully benchmarked. Willow’s performance on this benchmark is astonishing: It performed a computation in under five minutes that would take one of today’s fastest supercomputers 1025 or 10 septillion years. If you want to write it out, it’s 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years. This mind-boggling number exceeds known timescales in physics and vastly exceeds the age of the universe. It lends credence to the notion that quantum computation occurs in many parallel universes, in line with the idea that we live in a multiverse, a prediction first made by David Deutsch. Key features of Willow: - Exponential error correction - Benchmark performance in under five minutes - Below threshold achievement - Real-time error correction - RCS - Scalability potential - Advanced fabrication facility - Holistic system performance Willow weaknesses: - Noise pollution or any kind will disrupt the computational process and result in errors - Agitation of any kind will disrupt the computational process and result in errors

Willow's performance is so fast, it makes 'The Flash' look like he's running on dial-up internet. 10 septillion years crunched into five minutes? Forget 'multiverse theory' - Willow is living in 3024 while we're stuck in 2024! But I have to say, with all these 'agitation' and 'noise pollution' weaknesses, Willow sounds like a grumpy old man who needs his afternoon nap in complete silence. Shhh, the quantum chip is thinking!!
If they show you that technology it is because they have something 20 times more advanced. Cyberdyne Systems Corporation :O Skynet :O negative primacy. :O They Live Film 1988 ;\ Dunno, I'll see what's left over from Christmas. Greetings :)
I believe that is a very interesting posture to think about... There are several examples that I can think of that would fall under the umbrella of technology that is advanced beyond what is publicly known. None can be proven to be truth in my mind, nor can they be disproven... They are just unknown.
While I admit your point of view seems rather limited in scope, I appreciate your feedback. This post is intended to be absorbed by those who appreciate thinking "outside the box".
Perfectly agreed: My opinion - The question lies not in 'if' this technology is perfected but 'when'. I do not believe people understand the broader implications that quantum computing 'could' have on humankind. It would be a "game changer" [in every real sense of the phrase].
