Google said on Oct. 16 that it had made a breakthrough in quantum computing, claiming its Willow chip overcame a key resource bottleneck. The company said a technique called "magic state cultivation" is now running on Willow, cutting errors by about 40 times and reaching a record-level accuracy of 99.99%. The research was published in Science, according to Google. At the same time, the company said the method still needs to be validated at scale. The announcement may draw added attention from the crypto industry because advances in quantum computing are often discussed in the context of long-term cryptographic security, though the company’s statement focused on the technical result and its current limits.
