The Willow chip is Google’s advanced superconducting quantum processor, a key hardware milestone introduced in late 2024. It is highly significant for achieving the world's first verifiable quantum advantage, executing the Quantum Echoes algorithm 13,000 times faster than the best classical supercomputer.
Technically, Willow is the first processor where error-corrected qubits get exponentially better as they increase in size, operating below the critical error threshold and demonstrating exponential error suppression using precise quantum gates. This fulfills a nearly 30-year goal in quantum computing and ensures more reliable calculations.
The chip's potential is to transition quantum computing from theoretical experiments to practical problem-solving, opening the door to real-world applications within five years. These applications include accelerating drug discovery, characterizing complex molecular structures with unprecedented precision (acting as a "quantum-scope"), advancing material science (like energy storage and superconducting materials), and helping make fusion energy a reality.
