I'm the founder and lead of the Quantum AI Lab.
I'm Julian Kelly.
Yeah, senior director of hardware.
let's take a look at our latest chip called willow and you see it looks a little bit like an oreo in a way it's um the chip is actually comprised of two parts a larger part here this large silver rectangle this is our control electronics chip and the qubits themselves they sit in this little darker squares but the exponential power of quantum is what you're trying to harness with this chip we're holding here
Yes, for certain computations, the power of these chips is rather mind-boggling.
So in December, we actually ran a benchmark computation on this chip, which took just a few minutes here on the Willow chip, but it would have taken 10 septillion years.
This is a one with 25 zeros on today's top supercomputer.
So I think we will use it to help with many problems that humankind has.
It will enable us to discover drugs more efficiently.
It will help us make food production more efficient.
It will help us with the energy economy, like gas.
to produce energy, to transport energy, to store energy, to build technologies that make life more pleasant for all of us.
