Part 2/9:
Willow has successfully solved a problem in under 5 minutes, a task estimated to take the fastest supercomputers on Earth 10 septillion years. This staggering comparison highlights the unprecedented capabilities of quantum computing, as Willow’s performance dwarfs all known time scales in physics and even exceeds the age of the universe itself.
Google's announcement comes with a controversial claim: some scientists speculate that Willow may realize its computational feats by tapping into parallel universes. This claim, while bold, has drawn skepticism from various quarters.
