In 2019, when scientists at Google LLC announced that their quantum processor Sycamore had completed a task in 200 seconds that would have taken a classical supercomputer thousands of years, it set off all the alarm bells. Although that milestone was highly experimental and limited, it marked a symbolic moment: quantum technology was no longer just science fiction.
The Quantum Race: The New Technological Cold War
Google's breakthroughs in quantum computing mark the beginning of a new technological race that could change the global balance of power and economy. This breakthrough, though experimental, shows that the future is already here.
