How did Sundar Pichai react after Google’s Willow wowed Elon Musk? X-conversation between CEOs goes viral | On trend

Google is causing a stir with the announcement of its new quantum chip Willow. One of the people “excited” about this innovation is the richest man in the world, Elon Musk. When he went to X, he expressed interest in Google Quantum AI’s latest quantum chip and had a virtual conversation with Sundar Pichai.

Sundar Picha, CEO of Alphabet and Google, piqued Musk’s interest when he shared the Willow news on X. Space CEO Pichai upped the ante, suggesting that they might one day be able to “place a quantum cluster in space” with Starship. He referred to SpaceX’s Starship, which, according to its official website, is “designed to carry both crew and cargo to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars and beyond.”

Conversation between Sundar Pichai and Elon Musk:

In his post, Pichai introduced Willow to the world, calling it a “new cutting-edge quantum computing chip with a breakthrough that can exponentially reduce errors.” He also shared a few words about the exceptional performance of the quantum chip. Reacting to the post, Musk wrote: “Wow.”

In response, Pichai posted: “One day we should build a quantum cluster in space with Starship.” Musk replied: “That will probably happen” and discussed a cosmic philosophy, referring to the Kardashev scale.

What did social media say?

As expected, this conversation between the tech geniuses caught the attention of social media users who posted their opinions in the comments section.

Space entrepreneur and engineer James Yenbamroong responded to the conversation, writing: “Quantum mechanics in action. I’m excited to see it in space use soon. A quantum cluster space data center sounds like the way forward! Keep it up.”

One person praised X, commenting: “This conversation here is the reason why “Personally, I say that we should use nuclear fission in the short term and also produce newer conventional solar modules on a large scale.

A fourth agreed: “This is the kind of technological breakthrough that makes your hair stand on end. Quantum computing has always been the sword of Damocles over cryptography and has now taken a giant step closer to this goal. If Willow can solve in 5 minutes what takes a supercomputer 10^25 years to crack, Bitcoin’s encryption is definitely borrowed time. Buckle up. The future of decentralized finance may need a post-quantum overhaul, and quickly.”

About Willow:

Google said in a blog post that Willow “demonstrates error correction and performance that paves the way to a useful large-scale quantum computer.”
