Google Claims Its Quantum Chip Proves Multiple Universes "Exist"

Google recently unveiled Willow, its latest quantum computing chip, which boasts groundbreaking speed and reliability.

Critics assert that Google’s claims rely on benchmarks the company itself created, which may not conclusively prove the involvement of parallel universes.

While these technical advancements were noteworthy, an even more astonishing claim from Google Quantum AI founder Hartmut Neven stole the spotlight, Julie Bort reported for TechCrunch.

Neven argued in a blog post that Willow’s extraordinary performance might indicate the existence of parallel universes.

“Willow’s performance on this benchmark is astonishing: it completed a computation in under five minutes that would take one of today’s fastest supercomputers 10²⁵, or 10 septillion, years to finish,” he wrote.

According to Neven, this achievement supports the theory that quantum computations leverage resources from multiple universes, aligning with physicist David Deutsch’s multiverse hypothesis.

The bold assertion sparked both excitement and skepticism. Some online enthusiasts and experts found Neven’s conclusion plausible, noting that the multiverse is a serious topic of study within quantum physics.

Critics, however, pointed out that Google’s claims rely on benchmarks the company itself created, which may not conclusively prove the involvement of parallel universes. While intriguing, skeptics argue this performance does not confirm the existence of alternate versions of reality — or alternate versions of ourselves.
