With the recent unveiling of Willow, Google's advancements in quantum technology appear to foreshadow a dramatic expansion of computational power. Willow's capabilities were compared against the fastest classical supercomputer, proving that a computation achievable in under five minutes on Willow would require 10^25 years on its classical counterpart. Such a staggering disparity underscores a double exponential growth in computational power within Silicon Valley’s quantum endeavors.
