Google's Willow quantum chip achieves a computation that would take a classical computer over 14 billion years, but it stops short of claiming quantum supremacy.
Unlike its predecessor Sycamore, which claimed quantum supremacy, Willow avoids that label and references 'beyond classical computation', indicating a shift in Google's messaging.
Willow's calculations are focused once again on random circuit sampling (RCS), which Google admits has no known real-world applications.
Google asserts that Willow can perform the latest RCS benchmark in under five minutes, demonstrating a notable speed improvement over previous generations.
