summary
This article discusses Google's latest quantum computer called Bristlecone, which is designed to have 72 qubits. The article explains that qubits are the building blocks of quantum computers, and the greater the number of qubits, the more powerful the quantum computer becomes. Bristlecone is an important development as it brings Google one step closer to achieving quantum supremacy, which means solving problems that are practically impossible for classical computers to solve. The article highlights the challenges faced in building a stable quantum computer and how Bristlecone aims to address those challenges. It also discusses the potential applications of quantum computing and the race among tech giants to develop the most powerful quantum computer.
