On October 23rd 2019, Google announced that it has achieved a breakthrough in quantum computing. With the use of their new 54 - qubit processor, named Sycamore, their quantum computer successfully completed a problem in 200 seconds. Google says that such a feat would have taken a super computer 10,000 year to solve. Google's quantum computer uses qubits as opposed to the 1s and 0s of a classical computer. This allows the data to exists in multiple states
Th use of quibits offers the quantum computer greater speed in solving complicated computations. However, Google's rival, IBM says that its super computer can run the same computation in 2.5years as opposed to 10,000 years.
