Can Google’s Quantum Chip Named “Willow” Break Passwords? Concerns About Data Security Grow

in the past days Google Introduced by Gemini artificial intelligence powered “Willow” quantum computer It made a big impact in the technology world. This computer is very powerful, certain concerns, such as the possibility that it may shape technology also brought it up.

Some Chinese researchers, with smaller amounts of qubits RSA encryption can be broken he argues. In order to be prepared for such claims, Google and other companies are using critical software such as browsers and messaging applications. making software quantum resistant it works.

“Willow Can’t Break Modern Cryptography”

Quantum computers, especially popular cryptocurrencies such as RSA Possibility of breaking algorithmscan compromise both civilian and military communications systems. In contrast, many technology company and government agencypost-quantum cryptography (PQC) It is working on new security standards called Google.

Quantum AI Director and COO Charina Chou refuted these claims in a statement to The Verge.

“Willow chip is not capable of breaking modern cryptography” Using his expressions, Chou said that breaking RSA encryption is approximately 4 million physical qubits required he said.

According to him, we have at least 10 years to reach such a technology.
