Willow’s performance on this benchmark is astonishing: It performed a computation in under five minutes that would take one of today’s fastest supercomputers 1025 or 10 septillion years. If you want to write it out, it’s 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years. This mind-boggling number exceeds known timescales in physics and vastly exceeds the age of the universe. It lends credence to the notion that quantum computation occurs in many parallel universes, in line with the idea that we live in a multiverse, a prediction first made by David Deutsch.
Seriously? Since he couldn’t be where he is today if he actually believed what he said, this guy just seems to be desperately saying anything to get media attention, including naming his department “Google Quantum AI”.
Modern supercomputers can do computations that would take a person computing on the fastest abacus 10 septillion years which vastly exceeds the age of the universe, so do we live in a multiverse squared?
