Quantum Leap or Quantum Hype? Does Google's Willow prove the multiverse: With another tech breakthrough last week, Google's Willow quantum chip has just performed a feat so astounding, it's sparked talk of parallel universes. But before we jump to any cosmic conclusions, let's unpack what's really happening. Willow completed a calculation in 𝟱 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘀 that would take today's fastest supercomputers 𝟭𝟬 𝘀𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀. That's 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years. It also demonstrated exponential error reduction as it scales up, which is key. Google's quantum chief, Hartmut Neven, suggested this mind-bending speed could be explained by "𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨" 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘭 𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘴. (Ref to David Deutsch's theory on the multiverse) It's an interesting notion, but let's hear the critics: • The calculation was designed to challenge classical computers. • Claims of quantum supremacy rely on Google's own benchmarks. • Most experts advise caution on sweeping interpretations based on these results. However, it's still exciting: While Willow may not prove the multiverse, it does represent a step change in computing power. The potential of quantum computing to revolutionise major fields is significant. As leaders and innovators, we must ask: 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘰 𝘸𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦? 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘴 𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘮 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴?

Quantum Computing is going to be huge. Google claims to have made a breakthrough this week with Willow. It is well known that the ability of AI to grow will limited by current processing power. Quantum Computing is therefore the key to AI's full potential. Excerpt from Forbes "To put it in perspective, Willow's computational power is staggering. It can solve a complex calculation in under five minutes, taking the fastest classical supercomputer around ten septillion years to complete. Yes, septillion — as in a one followed by 24 zeros" https://lnkd.in/gGQKcJdC

PsiQuantum is building the first full-tolerant quantum computer. Overall, the Nature article is well-rounded, balanced, and non-technical (which is hard to do). A few points are missed: 1. A researcher from the University of Science and Technology of China says that PsiQuantum has yet to prove that it has overcome technical challenges. Many, if not all, of these unnamed challenges have been proven to those who need to know. Thank you, Australia and the USA, for showcasing that fact! PsiQuantum is a critical technology—a fact that neither the company nor its investors take lightly. PsiQuantum does not need to prove to competitors that they are more advanced—those involved already know it to be true. 2. Publishing work in the early years was vital for others to help underwrite the validity of the approach. Over time, PsiQuantum has matured to filing patents, and now its advancements are worthy of trade secret status. Sorry to those who are still publishing papers, but one day, you, too, will not want to give the milk away for free! 3. "'... I would sleep better' with the incremental approach"—bold ideas are not incremental; they are step changes. Look at SpaceX, Nvidia, and Telsa. They are successful because they do not sleep, work hard, and are bold. Category leaders and their venture capitalists do not want incremental improvements or science projects. Tinkers enjoy the slow path to irrelevance. Playground has supported PsiQuantum since its inception. They grew up in our facilities, and we could not be more proud of their accomplishments and upcoming milestones. The Future is Now! https://lnkd.in/geSWYzSv

Google’s “Willow” quantum chip will change the world as we know it - A Quantum Leap indeed! Moore’s law is dead since 2020 and Scaling law showing signs of fatigue with both algorithm and computational innovation peaking. And then boom - comes our beloved “Willow”, validating my prediction from a month ago during Synergy conclave break out session in Las Vegas, and posted here on LI (quantum goes mainstream disrupting both Moore’s and Scaling law)😀. https://lnkd.in/e4NRdYX3 Scientific community across the globe along with all of us at Eficens Systems are ecstatic - induction, deduction and conduction of cognition with zettascale data processing in near real time, just became reality. Move over Monte Carlo hourly rigmarole for credit risk factors calculation in banking (Greeks) to prudently deploy RWA. Say hello to discovery of latent alpha for financial portfolio modeling and early warning system for effective risk mitigation. Move over drug resistant viruses, all 30 billion molecules could be synthesized for drug discovery and precision medicine in minutes and hours. DeepMind’s AlphaFold is true miracle already! Let the narrative graduate from GenAI, LLMs, RAGs to quantum AI - a quantum leap indeed Google, though keep the Agentic thoughts intact!!! Where will next US$ 5 trillion investment go - let wagering start on next frontiers in computational science / Quantum Factories😂😂

🌟 What’s the next big thing after AI? 🌟 The answer could be quantum computing—and Google's recent success with its Willow Quantum chip offers a glimpse into the future. In a groundbreaking test, the chip performed a complex computation in under 5 minutes. To put that into perspective, the world’s fastest supercomputer, Frontier, would take 10 septillion years to complete the same task. That’s 10 followed by 24 zeros or 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years. This isn't just a leap forward; it's a paradigm shift. Quantum computing has the potential to transform industries like drug discovery, climate modeling, and improve AI capabilities, solving problems that are practically impossible for classical computers. #QuantumComputing #Innovation #FutureOfTech #TechLeadership
