Google researchers announced that they have achieved quantum supremacy by using a quantum computer to solve a problem that would take an average computer an impractically long amount of time to solve.
Their quantum computer correctly performed a computation in 200 seconds that would have taken the most powerful supercomputer thousands of years to accomplish, according to Google.
“For those of us working in science and technology, it’s the ‘hello world’ moment we’ve been waiting for—the most meaningful milestone to date in the quest to make quantum computing a reality,” the research team wrote in a blog post.
