Google introduces Willow, the fastest quantum chip ever

Google’s Quantum AI team has unveiled Willow, a groundbreaking quantum chip with state-of-the-art performance. It achieves two remarkable milestones: exponentially reducing errors as qubits scale and completing a benchmark computation in under five minutes—a task that would take current supercomputers 10 septillion years, a timespan far exceeding the age of the universe. These advancements mark a significant leap toward practical, large-scale quantum computing, promising solutions to humanity’s toughest challenges.

Quantum Computing: The Looming Threat of Store Now, Decrypt Later

As highlighted in this video, quantum computing is already reshaping how we think about data security. Governments and hackers are intercepting and storing encrypted files, anticipating that quantum computers will soon crack today’s encryption. This tactic, known as Store Now, Decrypt Later (SNDL), is driven by the belief that quantum computers could emerge within 10-20 years, capable of breaking encryption in minutes.

The U.S. National Security Administration warns that quantum breakthroughs could render all current public-key encryption obsolete.

To counter this risk, the U.S. Congress has mandated a shift to quantum-resistant cryptography. This proactive legislation ensures federal agencies begin preparing for a future where quantum computers pose a direct threat to digital security. As the video explains, the timeline for quantum encryption-breaking could be as short as five years, making early action essential.
