Google has announced a groundbreaking advancement in quantum computing as it unveiled its latest quantum chip called Willow. The tech giant said that Willow can solve complex calculations in five minutes, a task that would take supercomputers far longer than the age of the universe.

    Researchers at Google have unveiled its next-generation quantum computing chip, Willow, which the company says leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to surpass classical computers and even supercomputers dramatically. But what is quantum computing, and how does it differ from classical computing? Let us explore:

What is quantum computing

    Quantum computing is a field of computer science that uses quantum mechanics to address problems that classical computers cannot solve. Unlike classical computers, which use bits to represent information as 0 or 1, quantum computers rely on quantum bits, or....
