Sycamore (quantum computer)

Sycamore is a quantum computer created by Google's Artificial Intelligence division. It first came into the spotlight to the general public in 2019, when news about its computing speed was released (Google, whose claim was disputed by IBM, said it could perform in minutes what the fastest supercomputer- the United States and China and some countries in Europe, among others, are among some of the countries known to have extremely fast supercomputers that have set records; because of the controversy between IBM and Google, and the constant developments in quantum computers and super computers, it is uncertain whether this is the fastest computer of any kind currently on Earth in terms of speed of calculations). It was alleged to have performed in a matter of minutes what the fastest current supercomputers- as opposed to regular computers the public uses- would take on the order of around three thousand years to do, which if verified, could potentially be a record, as well as an exponential leap in computing power, opening up as-yet-to-be-developed new possibilities in artificial intelligence.
