Quantum Computing
In the perplexing world of quantum physics it is quite normal for matter to inhabit two places at once.
So it is fitting that Google’s claim to have built a quantum computer which dramatically outpaces classical machines, currently exists in a simultaneous state between dazzling success and dispiriting non-achievement.
Yesterday, the internet giant announced it had reached ‘quantum supremacy’ after its system - named Sycamore - took a little over three minutes to execute a task that would have kept the world’s best supercomputers busy for 10,000 years.
