JAKARTA - Google is again shaking the world of technology with extraordinary breakthroughs in the field of quantum computing. Through a new quantum chip calledUS and a cutting-edge algorithm called Quantum Echoes, the giant company claims to have completed complex physics tasks 13,000 times faster than the world's fastest supercomputer, Frontier.

This achievement is a major milestone towards practical quantum advantages when quantum computers actually go beyond the ability of classical machines in solving real problems.

In the experiment, Google performed very complex simulations of the physics phenomenon, namely second-order out-of-time-order correlator (OTOC) measurements. The results are surprising: The robot chip only takes a little more than two hours, while Frontier, the world's first-ranked supercomputer, is estimated to take 3.2 years non-stop to complete the same task.

This extraordinary speed secret lies in the Quantum Echoes algorithm. By exploiting the uniqueness of basic particles' qubits in quantum computing that could be in some state at once this algorithm executes forward and backward signals at the same time.

When the signal is reversed, there is a constructive interference' moment that strengthens the final result into a kind of quantum echo' (quantum echo). From this echo, scientists can learn how information spreads inside quantum systems in extreme precision.

Which makes these findings more interesting, the results can be verified. Unlike previous hard to prove quantum speed claims, Quantum Echoes algorithms can be retested in other quantum devices and compared with real physics experiments.

To prove its benefits, Google is working with researchers from the University of California, Berkeley. They used Quantum Echoes to analyze different two-molecule structures and compared them with results from NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectroscopy. The results were amazing data from both identical methods, even this quantum technique was able to uncover structural details that ordinary NMR could not detect.

Scientists call this achievement a new molecular ruler' with unprecedented precision. With capabilities like this, the world of science is now getting closer to an era where quantum computers are truly a practical tool for chemical research, physics, and the development of drugs maybe in just the next five years
