Google Quantum Exec says technology is “5 years of real hacking”

One Google Senior executives working on quantum computers said he believed that technology is only five years away from operating practical applications that cannot be calculated on modern computers.

Julian Kelly, Google Quantum Ai, told Deirdre Bosa from CNBC that the quantum computer may be able to do advanced physics and may generate new types of data.

“We believe that we are about five years of real progress, a kind of practical application that you can only solve on a quantum computer,” Kelly said in an interview on Tuesday.

Quantum technology has increasing interest after Google announced a breakthrough in correcting the error In December The company said that a road to the operating quantum computers.

MicrosoftMeanwhile, she revealed a new quantity computing chip called Majurana in February. The company had to create “A completely new issue“To get the slide to work, CEO Satia Nadila He said.

Google is the most advanced The computer has 105 NubOr the basic building building block for quantum computer, while experts say that a million or more tendons are needed for useful applications.

The quantum computers have been a dream for physicists and scientists since the 1980s. While traditional computers depend on central processors or graphics processors that are either 0 or 1, quantum quantum is running or turning off on the basis of possibility.

“Quantum computers talk about quantum mechanics – it can reach the way the universe works at the basic level,” Kelly said.

Kelly said that the first applications of technology will likely include the use of the system to simulate advanced physics. This includes “areas where you have some systems that are far from what to do a classic computer.”

Combinant computers may also be able to create data used to train artificial intelligence, although Kelly described this “speculative” use. He said that current artificial intelligence models will not be able mainly to work on quantum computers.

“One of the possible applications that you can think of a quantum computer generates new and new data,” Kelly said.

In recent months, quantum computing has benefited from attention on the artificial intelligence chips it made Nafidia While investors are looking for another type of the next generation processor that can cause a similar boom Graphics processing units did during the last wave of artificial intelligence investment.

NVIDIA does not make quantum treatments, but the company held a quantitative day event last week, as representatives of 12 leading Kuwaiti companies represent, Amazon Microsoft spoke about technology capabilities.

The chips maker’s summit came after NVIDIA CEO Ginsen Huang threw in January about whether useful quantum computers will hit the market In the next 15 years. These comments caused the decrease in the prices of shares of many public quantum companies.

Huang walked last week his comments in January, They say they were “wrong”, “ But he still indicates that he believes technology has a long way.

“Of course, quantum computing has capabilities and all our hopes that it will provide an unusual effect,” Huang said last week. “But technology is madly complicated.”
