Big brains Podcast on Instagram: ""If you haven’t seen Part 1 yet, do check out our page for the full introduction to quantum tunneling and this year’s Nobel winning breakthrough! In this second episode, we dive deeper into how quantum tunneling relates to energy levels and why particles don’t just sneak past barriers, but leap between discrete quantum states. We’ll reveal how multi electron systems create quantized ladders of energy, and how these discoveries help power technologies that were p

Artificial Intelligence & Digital Delusion on Instagram: "Meet Willow, Google’s new quantum computer - a machine so powerful it solved a calculation in under five minutes that would’ve taken normal supercomputers ten septillion years. That’s longer than the universe has existed. Scientists believe it pulled this off by splitting the problem across parallel realities - literally working with versions of itself in alternate universes. Google’s quantum lead even said it’s the first technology to tr

Rowan Cheung on Instagram: "Google’s Willow quantum chip has achieved the first verifiable quantum advantage, running an algorithm 13,000 times faster than the world’s best supercomputers. The Quantum Echoes algorithm measures molecular structures by sending signals through quantum bits, then reversing them to detect amplified echoes. This breakthrough enhances nuclear magnetic resonance technology, revealing atomic positions in molecules with unprecedented precision. In tests, Willow analyzed m
