Willow chip can realize that the error rate decreases exponentially with the increase of the number of quantum bits, which solves the key challenge of quantum error correction that has been studied in the field of quantum computing for nearly 30 years. Google has tested quantum bit grids of different sizes, which can halve the error rate every time. This is called "below the threshold", which has been a difficult problem that has not been overcome since Peter Shor proposed quantum error correction in 1995.NVIDIA is in danger, Google Quantum Chip is born, and the chip pattern may change.The content is for reference only and does not constitute investment advice.

The release of Willow chip is regarded as a major breakthrough in the field of quantum computing, which is regarded as the next technological frontier of many technology companies. Analysts said that Willow is of epoch-making significance, and it will be the first step to build useful quantum computing, which will bring great potential in many fields such as AI big model, drug discovery, nuclear fusion and battery design in the future.Willow completed a standard benchmark calculation in less than 5 minutes, and today's fastest supercomputer takes "10 to the 25th power" years, which is far beyond the age of the universe. This achievement not only marks the remarkable improvement of quantum computing ability, but also provides new possibilities for the practical application of quantum error correction technology.Willow chip can realize that the error rate decreases exponentially with the increase of the number of quantum bits, which solves the key challenge of quantum error correction that has been studied in the field of quantum computing for nearly 30 years.

In addition, sundar pichai, CEO of Google, announced this achievement on social platforms, and it has been published in the scientific journal Nature. This achievement also attracted the amazement of the technology giant Musk, who responded to the tweet "Wow" of Google CEO on social media. At the same time, Sam Altman, CEO of artificial intelligence company OpenAI, also forwarded Pichai's post with "warm congratulations".NVIDIA is in danger, Google Quantum Chip is born, and the chip pattern may change.
