- Chinese researchers write in a paper on arXiv that their Zuchongzhi 3.0 quantum computer performed a computational task that would take the Frontier supercomputer over 6.4 billion years to complete.
- The Zuchongzhi 3.0 system features 105 qubits with high fidelities and achieved one million samples from an 83-qubit random circuit in mere seconds, surpassing prior benchmarks set by Google’s Sycamore processor.
- While Zuchongzhi demonstrates quantum advantage through scale and speed, comparisons with Google’s Willow processor emphasize diverging research focuses, with Willow advancing fault tolerance critical for practical quantum applications.
