NEW: Google claims that it has achieved a breakthrough in quantum computing research, saying an experimental quantum processor has completed a calculation in just a few minutes that would take a traditional supercomputer thousands of years.

Google's findings, however, are already facing pushback from other industry researchers. A version of Google's paper leaked online last month and researchers caught a glimpse before it was taken down.

But IBM researchers say that Google underestimated the conventional supercomputer, called Summit, and said it could actually do the calculation in 2.5 days. Summit was developed by IBM and is located at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee.Whether or not Google has achieved"quantum supremacy" or not may matter to competitors, but the semantics could be less important for the field of quantum research. What it does seem to indicate is that the field is maturing.

It means quantum computing research can enter a new stage, he wrote, though a significant effect on society"may still be decades away."

A supercomputer 1000s of years? What calculation could that possibly be?

If any of you have read Origin by AuthorDanBrown, then you know my concern right now.

Just in time for a govt breakup of google EnemyOfThePeople

Trump2020LandslideVictory MAGA2020 KAG2020 Trump2020 KAG2020LandslideVictory

ai is now just moments away.

Please don't allow Google determine the next POTUS, clearly they already have that capability!

What games come with it?

Did the quantum computer show its work?

Yes but you can only send 2 pics at a time through gmail. Hardly super anything.

Oh great...they can spy on us faster... 🙄

Tell them to prove it.

And here's the first picture of that Super Genius processor that is unmatched in this world...

Gonna have to up my password game. Looks like random 15 characters just got shaky.

Just curious how you know the calculation was right? If it would take a super computer thousands of years how long for a human to do it? Please show all work and prove answer is correct... haha.

Skynet 2.0.

Now they can meddle with the elections and run cysis on full graphics at the same time.

Ummm i don't know if i should be excited or scared or both😳

Bookmark this tweet for when the machines take over.

Big brother is watching you

Let’s see how long before China steals the technology.

So how many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?

So, like, holy shit

uh oh ohfuck

we need Andrew yang save us . AndrewYang

Me: googles quantum

Great, they can break any pass code in seconds. Just what the world needs

Facebook must prove

Quantum leap so to speak

Aight now use it to hack into those student loan servers and accounts and wipe all that shit clean.

IBM ain't feeling this newz.... 😹💕

Reads as: Google exaggerates computing speed to spur investment in niche technology

sounds fantastic if it's true.

So does this mean my iPhone cable will works for more than 3 months?

SkyNet has been activated. So it begins.

It's about time. Seriously

Word processing on a Swedish Vydec screen? Almost as big as a Watson. I was employed at three places with a Vydec and no one knew how to use it. One broke down. One employer I quit. One employer got new tech.

Were the Google staff on lsd when they made the discovery and when they confirmed it?

'Brace yourselves for the Singularity'

Maybe read this as a different point of science:

Google is propaganda for the Dems

Was it built with that particular computing algorithm in mind?

Can we NOT share this with China? Let’s make the rules first, then share it in about 20years.

China has it already !! Comrade google supports censorship & slavery daily ! XHNews Google facebook Starbucks pepsi DNC googledevs TheJusticeDept StateDept realDonaldTrump POTUS OANN cvpayne LouDobbs TomFitton SenateGOP GOP charliekirk11

Means China now has it.

I don’t believe a single thing they say!

Either the quantum computer will say it is God or it'll do the calculations and conclude there is a God.

We had a good run really

maggieNYT But China stole the research before the calculation was done.

Have they given it to the Chinese yet?

Oh cool so now instead of 2 hands wringing over how they shouldn't ban nazi content on Youtube they can 10 Million Billion hands wringing about how they shouldn't ban nazi content.

maggieNYT I'm pretty fast with my calculator.

bryangalactic Great ask that computer how to end poverty....

Good

Need more supercomputers to check the work and come to a consensus

Makes me feel great that such a morally upstanding company like Google has this technology.

Middle Out?

nice...oh wait they just gave it to the Chinese government...

They managed to censor YouTube videos in real time!

The limit does not exist.

maggieNYT 42

I'm surprised they admitted it.

Great! Now do climate, you free loaders.

Yeah, almost a month ago.

maggieNYT byebye encryption

maggieNYT Breakin' the (Moore's) law, breakin' the (Moore's) law.

maggieNYT How long to check the computers work?

BREAKING

John Connor, please save us!

Prove it google

maggieNYT I guess nothing's really encrypted, anymore.

maggieNYT Is the answer 42?

fawfulfan Can I get this to run my Excel calculations that brings down my entire computer when changing one value?

So long, everyone’s password!
