Google has previously announced that the quantum computers they have been working on actually function. The search engine giant claims that they have discovered a quantum algorithm, which can solve problems tons of times.
The Google Artificial Intelligence Lab's researchers have revealed information that says its D-Wave quantum computer works, as reported by Gizmodo. Back in 2013, the company purchased quantum computers from D-Wave, which are believed to be the world's first-ever quantum computers.
D-Wave quantum computer's hardware is said to be faster than the usual processes, possibly being 3600 times quicker than a super computer. With this breakthrough, Google could possibly lead to the early development of artificial intelligence. Normally, it takes some time for computers to solve mathematical problems. But, it will be different when it comes to quantum computing.
Apparently, the D-Wave's chips have been controversial. There were researchers who have failed to prove if the computer possesses the real quantum advantages or not. Therefore, Google conducted a series of experiments between regular and the quantum computers. In order to verify the functionality of the quantum computer, it used a technique called quantum annealing.
After completing the experiment, it was proven that the D-Wave quantum computer is a hundred million times faster than the regular ones. However, this research needs to be peer-reviewed still, so Google cannot celebrate yet. Also, there are some critics who question its ability to work in the quantum realm.
Whether Google's claim is true or not, it cannot be denied that D-Wave quantum computers have future in the artificial intelligence and space missions. These could be of great advantage in technological revolution when used properly.
On the whole, Google might be right in saying that its quantum computers are really working. Hence, it still needs to prove and convince a lot of critics regarding this matter.
