Google says it has cracked a quantum computing challenge with new chip | CNN Business
Google on Monday said that it has overcome a key challenge in quantum computing with a new generation of chip, solving a computing problem in five minutes that would take a classical computer more time than the history of the universe.
Google says it’s cracked quantum computing….this story says under the most conservative estimates it can perform functions billions of years faster than current computers…..I watched a video on Bloomberg with their VP of Eng that said they ran a benchmark computation in 5 minutes that would take the worlds top super computer 10 Septillion years. Not a typo a 10 with 25 zeros behind it.
When these things get out that is how many small, capital, number and special characters your password will need.
That is, if our computer overlords will let us have passwords.

Wonder what the power requirements are for these processors vs traditional.
It would probably take a nuclear power plant to run them. Amiright?

Quantum computing is in its infancy and is also really good at what typical computers are bad at, but really bad at what typical computers are good at.
