It seems Google provided an answer that was leaked out last week that could be a game changer in computing by 1,000 orders of magnitude. They claim they have achieved quantum supremacy in orders of magnitude no ones ever seen before. Blockchain in danger due to the very nature of quantum computing power.

They ran a mathematical tests that would have taken the most powerful supercomputer in the world 10,000 years to solve in 3 mins. Not that all situations work this way but shows how with the given problems quantum computing is vastly superior. NASA accidentally leaked out the results before taking it down.

Quantum supremacy — whatever that means — is what Google announced they have accomplished last week. But what does this have to do with Bitcoin (BTC), cryptocurrencies, and blockchain technologies?

Google Makes Big Leap in Quantum Computing
Last week, the Financial Times came out with a jaw-dropping report about technology giant Google. It reported that a Google researcher’s paper outlining that the firm had achieved a sort of “quantum supremacy” leaked on NASA’s website before hastily being removed. NASA purportedly is involved in the project, hence the leak.

While there don’t seem to be downloads of the paper easily accessible on the Internet, outlets like Fortune have reported that Google claims to have a quantum device — which use qubits compared to traditional bits — that can perform a complex mathematical calculation in some three minutes and 20 seconds. The same equation, the paper said, would have taken the Summit 3 — an IBM supercomputer — about 10,000 years."

Hatmut Nevan may be trying to save face on the claims he made several years ago.

Need to see the report.
 
It seems the government may have put a gag order on it due to national security. Who knows but Google an Intel where both working on an over 40 qubit quantum computer that had enough qubits to achieve a viable level to be at to achieve quantum supremacy. Before that most working systems where very limited to a few qubits.

Google then claimed that were close to a working 48 qubit machine an estimated 5 years to get it working this was like 2 years ago. This would put them well ahead of schedule with a working machine. This machine is viewed as far more useful then the D-Wave machine because the D-Wave is far to limited in scope.

True but Google's also been very open about their test process vs others who have been limiting access to their tests. There been a lot of programs going on around the country with labs working on different aspects with disappointing results.

In December 2018, scientists at Google AI ran a calculation on Google’s best quantum processor. They were able to reproduce the computation using a regular laptop. Then in January, they ran the same test on an improved version of the quantum chip. This time they had to use a powerful desktop computer to simulate the result. By February, there were no longer any classical computers in the building that could simulate their quantum counterparts. The researchers had to request time on Google’s enormous server network to do that.

“Somewhere in February I had to make calls to say, ‘Hey, we need more quota,’” said Hartmut Neven, the director of the Quantum Artificial Intelligence lab. “We were running jobs comprised of a million processors.”

IBM got a system runing 56 qubits and still didn't reach supremacy (not even close) so Google has to beat that number and according to neven law, it would have to be at least 100 qubits and Google has afaik never mentioned any tests on anything above 56

Unless they solved that crazy lattice theory

Better us than the Chinese lol
True but one of the leaders in supercomputing research said Chinese in the hardware side are likely months away from similar results. Where he says they are lacking is software development but working hard to close that gap. They already had researchers from Finnish national academy of science an French national science academy work with them on quantum telecommunications. They been successful at transmission to space.
 
Will I be able to watch porn on this Super Computer?

Edit: ibm hit 56 not 48.
I thought I saw it was over 40 qubits my bad still there maybe something too it.

Sorry, IBM hit 56 qubits and it didnt result in supremacy (if supremacy is even possible) I edited my previous post to include that mind melting lattice approach that they could've solved.
 
Not exactly apples to apples if you're talking about a processor that can only run a single algorithm.
It's not even clear from the reporting that it's Turing complete.
Apparently the experiment was run on a 53 qubit processor.

Edit: The reporting on this even on tech sites seems unusually bad.
Here's the paper that was removed.
 
Shit, apparently Google last year said they have a plan for a 72 Qubit system with an error rate below 1%. Which is still way off from the theoretical need of 100+ and .01 error rate for supremacy.
 
Quantum computing will change the world. Fascinating stuff.
 
Google is full of folks that hate America and embrace communism and socialism

Who says they aren’t going to sell it to China?

Sell? Why sell when you can GIVE to the true Chinese overlords?
