💥Quantum Computers: Getting Real?
Bloomberg reports that Google has made striking advancements in a promising new technology. Now the government needs to do its part.
🧠 Alphabet Inc.’s
Google announced a major
advancement in the field. Its
quantum chip, called
Willow, performed a calculation in
less than five minutes that might take a
regular (or “classical”) computer
10 septillion years.
📊Since achieving a previous milestone, in
2019,
Google has
doubled the number of
qubits on its chip while exponentially
reducing its error rate. Other big companies, including
International Business Machines Corp. and
Microsoft Corp., are also
moving ahead quickly. A
functional quantum computer, long theorized, now looks
plausible within the
next decade or so.
📊 For
militaries and
intelligence agencies, the race to dominate this new field is already
heated.
Quantum sensing may enhance reconnaissance and surveillance systems while providing an
alternative to
GPS for navigation or positioning.
Quantum communications could
harden sensitive electronic networks. A
quantum computer could (in theory)
accelerate development of autonomous weapons or provide
unimpeded access to an adversary’s
encrypted files.
