How Google's Sycamore Computer Could Change the World

Sycamore is the name of Google's quantum computer. It has 53 qubits and is a superconducting quantum processor. Each qubit is around 0.2 millimeter across, large enough to be seen under a standard microscope.

• Sycamore was used to complete a calculation in 3 minutes and 20 seconds that would have taken 10,000 years for the world's most powerful supercomputer. The term "quantum supremacy" was coined to describe this accomplishment.


• Sycamore is still a very modest quantum computer, but it represents an important step toward developing a large-scale quantum computer capable of solving real-world issues. Google is still working on Sycamore and other quantum processors, as well as novel algorithms that can take use of quantum mechanics.


• Here are some examples of quantum computing applications:


Drug discovery: 

• Quantum computers could be used to replicate molecular behavior, allowing scientists to create novel medications more swiftly and efficiently.

Cryptography:

• Quantum computers could be used to break present encryption systems, potentially having a significant influence on cybersecurity.

Machine learning:

• Quantum computers could be used to train machine learning models that are far more powerful than traditional computers.

• Quantum computers' possible uses are still being investigated, although it is apparent that they have the potential to transform many different fields.
