Google unveiled its Willow quantum computing chip, which can complete tasks in just five minutes that would take 10 septillion years for some of the world’s fastest conventional computers. However, the practical applications of this impressive chip are not yet clear. In this episode, Ian Sample speaks to Winfried Hensinger, professor of quantum technologies at the University of Sussex, to discuss whether this new chip brings quantum computing any closer to reality. Please note that due to industrial action at the Guardian and Observer, there may be disruptions to new episodes in your Guardian podcast feeds.

On Monday Google unveiled its Willow quantum computing chip. The new chip takes just five minutes to complete tasks that would take 10 septillion years for some of the world’s fastest conventional computers to complete. But despite its impressive power, it’s not clear the chip has any practical applications. So does it bring quantum computing any closer? To find out Ian Sample speaks to Winfried Hensinger, professor of quantum technologies at the University of Sussex.
Because of industrial action taking place by members of the National Union of Journalists at the Guardian and Observer this week, you may notice some disruption to the availability of new episodes in your Guardian podcast feeds in the coming days. All the work on this episode was done before the strike action began. For more information please head to theguardian.com
