Google's Willow quantum chip, a 105-qubit superconducting processor, completed a Random Circuit Sampling calculation in under five minutes. Google estimates the world's fastest classical supercomputer, Frontier, would need 10 septillion years for the same task. The chip demonstrates a 'beyond-classical' regime, though the comparison has drawn criticism from physicists.
