Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Google claims its quantum computer can do the
impossible in 200 seconds
Google used to be known primarily as a search
engine company. But recently, their advancement in AI, such as Alpha Go which
beat human Go champions, and auto driving subsidiary called Waymo, made it one
of the most advanced multi-international technology companies. Last month,
Google also launched its latest smartphone, the Pixel 4 XL. With Ai,
auto-driving, smartphone, and other Internet services, Google unquestionably is
a leading company in high tech fields.
However, its technologies aren’t limited only
in technologies for today and tomorrow. Google has recently claimed that they
achieved ultra-super computing with quantum computing technology. According to their
announcement, the quantum computer solved a problem only in a few minutes,
which calculation would take thousands of years with a conventional supercomputer.
Why so much faster? While today’s computers
use the unit of information is called a "bit" and can have a value of
either 1 or 0, quantum system can have a value of both 1 and 0 at the same time,
which make multiple calculations to be performed simultaneously. This new
computing is expected to be a breakthrough technology in the field of searching,
simulation, speed, and cryptography. It may make, or might have made, the impossible
possible.
Enjoy reading the article and watching the video
to learn about this breakthrough computing technology.
