Gᴇʀᴀʀᴅ Bᴀʀʀʏ<p>Willow’s performance is astonishing: It performed a computation in under five minutes that would take one of today’s fastest supercomputers 1025 or 10 septillion years. It lends credence to the notion that quantum computation occurs in many parallel universes, in line with the idea that we live in a multiverse, a prediction first made by <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DavidDeutsch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DavidDeutsch</span></a>. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Willow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Willow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/quantum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quantum</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/quantumcomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quantumcomputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/chips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chips</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HartmutNeven" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HartmutNeven</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/multiverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>multiverse</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>technology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tech</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/innovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>innovation</span></a></p><p><a href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/10/google-says-its-new-quantum-chip-indicates-that-multiple-universes-exist/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">techcrunch.com/2024/12/10/goog</span><span class="invisible">le-says-its-new-quantum-chip-indicates-that-multiple-universes-exist/</span></a></p>

Giovanni Soto<p>Shor's algorithm is a quantum computing algorithm developed by Peter Shor in 1994, designed to factor large integers efficiently. It poses a significant threat to traditional cryptographic systems, such as RSA, which rely on the difficulty of factoring large numbers for security. By utilizing quantum parallelism, it can solve this problem exponentially faster than the best-known classical algorithms.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/ShorsAlgorithm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShorsAlgorithm</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/QuantumComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>QuantumComputing</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/CyberSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CyberSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/DataProtection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DataProtection</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/Cryptography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cryptography</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/PostQuantum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PostQuantum</span></a></p>

~ Willow’s performance is astonishing: It does in 5 minutes what today’s fastest supercomputers do in 10 septillion years. That’s 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. This mind-boggling number exceeds known timescales in physics.
