Google recently presented a new quantum chip which we told you about in this article. Called Willow, it promises to revolutionize the world of quantum computing thanks to breathtaking computing power. Concretely, Hartmut Neven suggested that the component had managed to perform in just a few minutes a calculation that would take 10 septillion years, or 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years, for the most powerful conventional computers today. According to the senior official, “This staggering number exceeds the time scales known in physics and far exceeds the age of the universe. » However, the founder of Google Quantum AI shared another detail that did not fail to arouse the curiosity of supporters of the multiverse.
A concept that divides Internet users
“This lends credence to the idea that quantum computing occurs in many parallel universes, consistent with the idea that we live in a multiverse, a prediction first made by David Deutsch”actually underlined Hartmut Neven in the blog post he posted praising Willow’s virtues. While some Internet users prefer to be skeptical of this statement, others, on the other hand, believe in it. Indeed, the multiverse is a concept often mentioned in the field of quantum physics. It implies that we are not present in a single universe, but in a vast collection of universes.
Quantum entanglement as a basic principle
This notion is associated with quantum entanglement or quantum entanglement, which is one of the fundamental characteristics of quantum physics. It is a phenomenon in which two particles are linked, regardless of the distance separating them, the state of one determining that of the other. The theory of multiverses thus suggests that all what is in the universe we know exists in other universesforming a linked system. You should know that unlike classical computers which are based on logic with two states: 0 and 1, quantum computers use qubits.
Revolutionizing science
Qubits have the particularity of being able to represent both 0 and 1. In other words, they can be activated or deactivated or adopt these two states at the same time. Quantum computers should therefore one day allow us to solve infeasible calculations with traditional computers. Better yet, they could help revolutionize science and our understanding of the universe, and possibly the multiverse… But before getting there, in-depth research is still necessary.
Initiatives like that of Google, which has just launched the most powerful quantum chip in the world, are welcome for this purpose. More info: blog.google. In your opinion, does the multiverse exist or is it just a vision of the mind? Perhaps we will know more soon with these quantum components!
