Stronger Computational Power, Fewer Errors: One of Quantum Computing's Greatest Challenges Conquered

This marks a significant milestone.

On December 10, as OpenAI's Sora captivated the AI community, Google announced a major breakthrough: its new quantum computing chip, Willow, can reduce error rates through scaling—completing in 5 minutes what would take a supercomputer 10^25 years to accomplish.

Is this the Scaling Law proving itself in quantum computing?

The groundbreaking achievement quickly garnered widespread acclaim. Elon Musk expressed admiration, and in his interaction with Sundar Pichai, he envisioned a future where Starship might be used to build quantum computing clusters in space, powered by large-scale solar energy collection.

Musk emphasized, "Any self-respecting civilization should at least aspire to become a Type II Kardashev civilization." Yet, he noted, humanity is still far from achieving even 5% of a Type I civilization.
