A document published—and later deleted—by NASA a few days ago revealed that we could soon be entering a new technological era: Google has achieved “quantum supremacy”—supposedly.
According to the Financial Times, Google claims to have successfully built the world’s most powerful quantum computer. What that means, according to Google’s researchers, is that calculations that normally take more than 10,000 years to perform, it’s computer was able to do in about 200 seconds.
