Alphabet (GGOG) stock pops 5.2% on market opening as investors welcome Google's recent quantum chip Willow. Willow is a big leap forward in quantum error correction because the chip can minimize errors exponentially as the number of qubits used increased. This means that the more qubits (quantum bits) the chip uses, the fewer errors it makes.
Willow is still largely experimental but the result of performed computation that only take less than five minutes to complete already impressed the market today as people see Google paves way to revolutionize various
industries.
This quantum chip will be useful for technology and commercial applications such as medicine, energy and artificial intelligence at large scale quantum computers. The chip's performance is seen as a step towards
building commercially relevant quantum computers, in other words it's a breakthrough. With significant potential implications for the future, the market sends Alphabet's stock to the moon today.
