Google's 'Willow' Quantum Chip Sparks Multiverse and Bitcoin Concerns

TL;DR Summary
Google has unveiled its new quantum computing chip, Willow, which reportedly performs computations at speeds suggesting it may be tapping into computational power from parallel universes, supporting the multiverse theory. This claim, made by Google Quantum AI founder Hartmut Neven, has sparked both intrigue and skepticism. While some experts find the idea plausible, others caution that the performance benchmarks are based on Google's own metrics, which may not conclusively prove the existence of parallel universes. The Willow chip aims to reduce errors in quantum computing, a significant challenge in the field.
