Willow, Our Quantum Chip
Our new quantum chip demonstrates error correction and performance that paves the way to a useful, large-scale quantum computer.
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. A video with Principal Scientist Sergio Boixo, Founder and Lead Hartmut Neven, and renowned physicist John Preskill discussing random circuit sampling, a benchmark that demonstrates beyond-classical performance in quantum computers. Other more specific performance metrics are also important; for example, our T 1 times, which measure how long qubits can retain an excitation — the key quantum computational resource — are now approaching 100 µs (microseconds).
