			<news:title><![CDATA[In December 2024, Google announced that its Willow quantum computing chip had completed a calculation in roughly five minutes that would have required the world's fastest classical supercomputer approximately 10 septillion years — longer than the current age of the universe by a factor of approximately a quadrillion — in what Google's quantum AI team called a demonstration that the chip had entered a 'beyond-classical' regime]]></news:title>
