Sycamore (quantum computer)

Short description: Supercomputer from Google

Sycamore is a quantum computer created by Google Inc.'s Artificial Intelligence division.[1] Sycamore came into the public spotlight in 2019, when news about its computing speed was released.[2] Google's claims of its speed was disputed by IBM, and remain unverified.[3] If the claims are upheld, then it would represent an exponential leap in computing power.[4][5][6][7]
