Google’s Willow Chip: A Leap into the Future of Quantum Computing

Google has unveiled a groundbreaking computing chip known as Willow. This innovative chip represents a significant advancement in technology.

According to Google, Willow can accomplish tasks in seconds that traditional supercomputers would require thousands of years to complete.

Take a moment to consider that.

The potential impact of this advancement is immense. In today’s Market 360, I will explain its significance. If you haven’t yet learned about quantum computing, you’re about to hear a lot more.

I initially informed my Growth Investor subscribers about quantum computing in late April, expecting a slow development over the next few years.

However, I was mistaken.

Since early May, two of my recommended stocks have surged nearly 400%, with most of those gains occurring in the last two months. One stock even increased by another 20% last Friday.

As I will demonstrate shortly, the excitement surrounding quantum computing is far from over, making it crucial for investors to stay informed.

Understanding Quantum Computing

Before diving deeper, let’s clarify what quantum computing is.

British mathematician Alan Turing once envisioned machines with the ability to “think.” He laid the groundwork for artificial intelligence by proposing programs that simulate a child’s mind for educational purposes.

This concept might resonate if you’ve used a large language model (LLM) like ChatGPT.

Consider a maze for a moment.

A traditional computer tackles a maze by choosing a path, starting over when it reaches a dead end. It repeats this process until it finds a solution.

Now, if you could teach a computer to reason like a human, it could avoid obvious dead ends, making the process even quicker.

But suppose you could examine ALL paths of the maze at the same time, obtaining the right answer in mere seconds. This idea was once purely theoretical, existing only in the realm of quantum mechanics.

In classical computing, machines convert requests into binary code—essentially 0s and 1s that form bits representing symbols or patterns.

Quantum computing, however, employs quantum mechanics to address complex problems using quantum bits, or qubits.

While regular bits can only be 0 or 1, qubits can exist in both states simultaneously. This unique characteristic enables quantum computers to generate numerous solutions at once, enhancing computational capabilities.

This is the essence of quantum computing: solving challenging problems much faster than classical computers.

Shifting Beyond Moore’s Law

For many years, quantum computers remained confined to university laboratories and government agencies. They were large, intricate, costly, and required extremely low temperatures.

Moreover, as more qubits are used, error rates increase. Advances in quantum chip technology like Willow are working to reduce these errors.

The introduction of a technology known as an ion trapper is crucial. It stores and manages qubits using electrically charged atoms.

The outcome? Smaller, simpler quantum computers that can function at room temperature—effectively making them more accessible and affordable.

In essence, the first commercially viable quantum computer is on the horizon.

The implications of this development are monumental. While traditional computers have advanced significantly over time, quantum computing heralds a complete paradigm shift.

Moore’s Law, which states that the number of transistors on a microchip doubles approximately every two years, may soon be outdated.

Why does this matter? The answer is straightforward.

Faster computers will lead to major breakthroughs:

• Biopharma companies will discover new drugs more rapidly.
• Automakers will create effective driverless car systems.
• Chemical manufacturers will innovate materials previously unimaginable.

We are on the brink of solving problems we aren’t even aware of yet.

The Future of Quantum Computing

It’s essential to note that, as we all know, artificial intelligence currently dominates the market. This is understandable given AI’s transformative impact on the world.

Companies like NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) have profited immensely by supplying the chips necessary for the implementation of generative AI technologies, benefiting their investors greatly.

Spotting the Future: Investing in the Next AI Revolution

Our Growth Investor service has indeed reaped rewards from the AI boom. Currently, we’re enjoying an impressive gain of 3,200% in NVIDIA!

Such gains can significantly change lives.

However, it’s crucial to stay alert for the upcoming technological shifts. By the time the public catches wind of the next big thing, the easiest profits may already be gone.

NVIDIA is aware of this, and they are already venturing into quantum computing.

Yet, let’s pause for a moment.

While stocks related to quantum computing hold promise as speculative assets (as proven by my Growth Investor members in recent months), we still face a long journey before a company akin to NVIDIA or Apple, Inc. (AAPL) emerges in that sector.

Before we fully embrace AI fueled by quantum computing, businesses and individuals need to learn how to utilize Large Language Models (LLMs) effectively. Progress will depend on the creative collaboration between humans and machines.

The leading companies in this space will be the AI Appliers—those who skillfully adapt flawed AI technologies to address the imperfections of the real world. These firms understand the limitations of AI and innovate to find solutions around them.

I anticipate that this third phase of the AI Revolution will launch in 2025, a view shared by my InvestorPlace colleagues, Luke Lango and Eric Fry. For this reason, we have partnered to create a new portfolio of seven stocks, which we believe will spearhead this next era of AI advancement. These AI Appliers will be:

• Navigating the limitations of LLMs by blending human creativity with software to enhance AI effectiveness.

• Delving into next-gen AI innovations that merge silicon chip technology with biochemistry.

• Helping redefine potential in a world increasingly shaped by advanced artificial intelligence.

We also have confidence that these companies will equip investors for a future where computers exceed average human intelligence—though they will not be without faults.
