Google unveiled its latest quantum chip, Willow, emphasizing error reduction and promising advancements in quantum computing while stepping away from its previous quantum supremacy claims.
With Willow, Google has opted to focus on enhancing qubit performance and minimizing errors, instead of targeting a quantum supremacy distinction that proved controversial in the past.
Unlike its previous quantum chip, which merely outperformed classical computers on a single task without practical applications, Willow aims to address real-world usability challenges in quantum computing.
Google's ongoing use of random circuit sampling (RCS) as a performance metric complicates direct comparisons with competitors like IBM, who advocate for the more comprehensive quantum volume standard.
