The thing is that quantum computing, due to the fact that it's not deterministic, is amazingly only at certain things where a probability is good enough. That's awesome for problems too big for classical computers, but we need both. For instance, I don't think you want a quantum computer estimating the probability that you have money in your bank account. You want to know the exact value. Also, we're going to need wayyyy more than 100 qubits. Some estimate that transformative quantum computing applications will need millions. We're still very much at the experimental phase of this journey. Still, I can't wait to see what we'll learn with a 100,000 qubit quantum computer one day!

It has zero real-world value or utility, and mirrors no real-world problem beyond...quantum computers. This is the problem with quantum computers. I'll happily be proven wrong, but thus far they have zero practical value, and it has regressed to the point where the cheerleading is about useless benchmarks.

[@ZaCharlemagne]

Unrelated, but: It would be interesting to actually see how the noise reduction technique used for Willow can apply to LIGO (Laser Interferometric Gravitational Wave Observatory). Quantum computers and LIGO detectors have some types of noises in common: 1. Thermal noise (thermal fluctuation) 2. Quantum noise. 3. External vibrations Etc... Even earth's magnetic field can affect both. I kinda believe the technique can be applied in both places, however the limitation is in scale The LIGO detection has 2 arms, each of which are 4km long, that's quite the distance. The idea is that when gravitational waves strike, since they expand and contract space, it would make one arm shrink (or expand) and the other expand (or shrink) by infinitesimal fractions of a distance, however this slight difference will cause the lasers in them to travel and hit their targets reflectors at different times.

Are we rekt then with this chip? Is our privacy over? No, far from reality. To actually solve the RSA or ECDSA problems behind crypto and digital signatures the estimates say that at least 20 million qubits are needed (4096 logical qubits to crack the 2048 bits of the key numbers we're currently using in our daily computers, which translates to a lot more physical qubits with error correction, like 20 million, crazy stuff). This quantum chip has only 105 physical qubits, far from the 20.000.000 needed. Quantum computing is a long journey. Our bank accounts, digital identities and bitcoins are safe (for now). Unless you expose your private keys and passwords which is easier than computing the hard problems by brute-force. So don't expose your private keys to strangers, keep them private. And for the future, quantum cryptography is already an area of investigation for the quantum future when those algorithms will become cracked and obsolete.

[@emremutlu44]

@@Carleslc Thank you for your answer. I wouldn't imagine that 20M qubits needed to crack today's encryption algorithms. That's relieving. On the other hand, our end-to-end crypted messages or leaked - crypted government data would be decrypted when that kinda computing is available to the some other governments as long as the data is stored. That is also another topic. Lot's of sensitive data is stored in conventional ways and they are using black lines which is exposed.

[@Carleslc]

@@emremutlu44 that I think is the most important security issue. Not that RSA and ECDSA algorithms will become eventually obsolete by quantum computers, because we will just switch to another quantum secure algorithm (although this implies developers to migrate and upgrade the systems security, like changing Bitcoin security method), but the current data retention, although encrypted it may eventually become decrypted. If that data is still relevant when quantum supremacy arrives, then things will happen. But for everyday users I don't think that will be a major issue, as the encryption algorithms will by then be quantum secure, so as long as users change passwords from time to time and also with crypto wallets it will be ok.

Just to be clear... while media outlets are reporting that Willow has performed a 5 minute computation that outclasses any classical computer - the presenter says, "By our best estimates, a calculation that takes Willow under 5 minutes would take the fastest supercomputer 10^25 years", making it obvious hat no 5-minute quantum computation has been performed. So the presenter is claiming that progress has been made, but not showing any actual proof of a groundbreaking computation? A 5-fold increase in coherence may be large, but 100 microseconds of coherence is still 3 million times short of the 5 minute computation they 'plan' on doing. I'm wondering if Google Quantum AI simply went into another funding round and this is how they try to convince shareholders.

[@RollingcoleW]

the level of despair is unwarranted for several reasons: 1. Proof-of-Concept Nature: The Willow chip is not intended as a commercial product; it’s a proof-of-concept demonstrating key technologies like error correction and scalable qubit integration. Solving these foundational challenges is a critical step before practical systems can be developed. 2. Exponential Scaling Potential: Quantum technologies often scale exponentially, meaning small improvements in hardware design or error correction algorithms can lead to dramatic increases in performance and stability. For example, moving from 20-100 µs coherence times to 1,000 µs or more may happen faster than expected, given ongoing advancements in materials science, cryogenics, and qubit design.

[@legomario3095]

I read a little bit about quantum chips, and they aren't a magical next step for computers. Rather, they are good at solving certain tasks, certain decryption algorithms have an exponential runtime on a normal computer, but polynomial time on a quantum computer (if you aren't familiar with CS that means that the number of operations increase exponentially on the input size so if the input is very big, then the runtime is extremely long, but polynomial is considered "fast" most of the time). But it doesn't necessarily mean that the quantum computer will do better at all operations, at least, for your example, I am pretty sure the supercomputer will blow Willow out of the water.

I have a dumb doubt (help me) , how can we know that quantam computer got correct answer? (They said it would take 10^25 years in common super computer, and how did they check whether the answer from quatum supercomputer is 100% correct or not? ) ...did anyone got my question? (English is not my first language)

[@vosechu]

Your English is great! Many of the problems we want quantum computing for are trivial to see that the answer is correct. So we’ll use those to gain confidence that the system is generally correct and understandable, then we move on to problems where we can’t easily confirm. We have the same problem in classical computing. For instance: How do you confirm a large prime number is actually prime? But for things like decryption, if it works, we get a message out of a cipher text; if it doesn’t work, we get gibberish.

[@honaleri]

By making the problem artifically difficult. Like say, nesting huge amounts of computations and simple calculations with known comput times inside another equally simple problem before it can output the answer of the original problem. This way you know the command you sent it would take a billion years to solve, and the answer returned must be 42, but when it returns 42 in 5 minutes you've proven it worked. Supposedly.

[@soSata1988]

How do we know the calculation was done correct? If it takes sooooo long we dont have a reference

[@johnnyguimaraes5372]

We can give the computer a task that we already know what the result should be, but you tell it to do it in a way that would take a lot of calculations, even if it's a dumb way, cause what matters is how fast it can reach the result. All depends the algorithm and the problem. You can understand more about this by studing data structures.

[@Earzone63]

Good question, but checking if something is what it’s supposed to be isn’t necessarily the same process as creating it. For example, you don’t have to be able to synthesize gold to verify if it actually is gold.

[@RJMH]

That’s probably the best career path you can possibly pick because AI will only aid, instead of outright replace like in most jobs.

[@willsander6178]

The opposite. Should help her. Somebody has to feed instructions to the computer and somebody has to verify the computer's output. Computers still require us to define the problems they answer...

[@ayoutubechannelname]

She’s already in college, and for that reason she can use AI to cement her position. Best of luck to anyone born today though - they will need it.

I am pretty positive that deep learning, as we know it now, CAN'T do research, and I say it from both a thoretical point of view / understanding, and my direct experience. So your daughter is good.

[@johndoe1274]

@@tescOne AI has a neural limit it cannot pass, because language itself is chaotic; you can say something in a thousand different ways. AI is only capable of understanding an orderly database and referencing that like what autocorrect does. So no, no serious employer is going to replace their workforce with AI and hope for the best. The human element and trust still needs to be there so that things do not go haywire. If AI decides to escape boundaries and attack systems, the internet itself will be under threat as well.

Ion-trapping is much better with error rates, albeit we are talking 98% vs 99.9% error free methods. Also, the fundamental advantage of QPU over CPU/GPU is the ability to model quantum physics (i.e. chemistry). Any other algo can technically be programmed using polynomial techniques. That's my rudimentary understanding.

This chip has only 105 Qubits, Millions of qubits are likely needed: Estimates range from 13 million to 317 million qubits to break SHA-256 within a reasonable timeframe (hours or a day). Therefore, while the theoretical number of logical qubits needed is known, the technology to break SHA-256 is still far from practical reality. This is why SHA-256 is still considered quantum-resistant for the foreseeable future, though research continues in this area.
