Google claims to have taken an important step known as "Quantum supremacy" by making a machine with capabilities far superior to those of the most powerful conventional computers, according to the Financial Times on Friday.
A study of Google researchers describing this innovation, as seen by journalists from the business daily, was briefly published on the NASA website this week before being removed.
The researchers would say that their processor is capable of conducting an operation in three minutes and twenty seconds where it would take 10,000 years at most advanced computers today.
Alphabet, the parent company of Google, had not immediately responded to AFP's solicitations. According to researchers at the California company, the machine can solve only one calculation at a time and the use of quantum machines for real industrial applications will not be done for several years. But it is "an essential step towards large-scale quantum computing," they write in the study according to the Financial Times.
We will finally be able to play Crysis with ease
