Amazing breakthrough by Google! The quantum computer, Sycamore, did in three minutes what a traditional supercomputer would need 10,000 years. This is a product of a collaboration between 75 scientists at Google, NASA, Oak Ridge National Laboratory & facilities in Germany and US

[Sundar Pichai @sundarpichai]

Very proud that our @GoogleAI team has achieved a big breakthrough in quantum computing known as quantum supremacy after over a decade of work, as published in @Nature. Thank you to our collaborators in the research community who helped make this possible.
