One small step for Google, one giant leap for computing. The IT behemoth has claimed that a computer has achieved ‘quantum supremacy’ for the first time, essentially outperforming conventional forms of computing and bringing a tangible element to the much-hyped field of quantum computing.
The Sycamore processor developed by Google performed a function in 200 seconds that would take the world’s most powerful supercomputers 10,000 years to complete. Even with the numbers in ...
