This chip has been able to solve a mathematical equation that was impossible to solve until now in just 5 minutes. This is Willow, the new chip created by Google. It doesn't look very different from the ones you already know, but Willow is completely revolutionary.
If that same equation is assigned to one of the largest supercomputers that exist, such as Frontier, it would take 10 septillion years to solve it. You heard right. The most powerful machine that exists today would take longer to solve this equation than the years the universe has existed.
Google's new chip took about the same time it takes you or me to prepare a coffee. But the discovery has a trick. Willow is not a normal chip, it's a quantum chip.
In this video, I'm going to explain what quantum computing is, the incredible things it can do, and the enormous risks it poses for humanity. I will try to answer two questions. First, how long will it take for this technology to be within our reach?
And second, are we sure we want it to arrive? Hello, how are you? I'm Gustavo Entrala.
By day, I help large companies and startups design their future. At night, I practice a hobby I love, teaching what I know about that future to those who want to always be one step ahead. If you're interested in the future, hit the bell so YouTube will notify you when a new video comes out.
