Google Quantum AI unveiled the Willow chip on December 9, 2024, a 105-bit quantum processor capable of solving in less than 5 minutes a calculation that would take 10 septs of years to the current supercomputers. Beyond this spectacular performance, the real feat lies in mastering quantum errors: Willow reduces the error rate by half at each increase in its size, crossing a theoretical threshold expected for 30 years.
