It is learned that the head of Google’s (GOOG) quantum department has recently stated that commercial quantum computing applications will be released within five years to challenge Nvidia’s prediction of “needing to wait 20 years”.
Accelerating commercial quantum computing applications
Hartmut Neven, founder of the “Quantum AI” laboratory of Google’s quantum AI department, wrote in a statement, “We are optimistic that within five years we will be able to see real-world applications that are only possible on quantum computers.”

Last December, Google launched the quantum chip “Willow” on its official blog, saying that it can reduce errors exponentially and solve the key challenges of quantum error correction that have been studied in the field for nearly 30 years.
In addition, Google’s quantum computing scientists said in a paper published in Nature that they have discovered a new method for quantum simulation. This will help Google take another step on the road to realizing its quantum vision within five years.
Intel builds a 10,000-level quantum computer
Coincidentally, recently, technology giant Intel (INTC) announced a partnership with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) of Japan to jointly develop the next generation of “10,000-level” quantum computers.
According to media reports, this cooperation will use Intel’s advanced chip technology, and its computing performance will be more than 100 times higher than the most powerful mainstream quantum computers currently available. At present, computers with 100 quantum bits are already advanced, but the computing error rate is high. The newly developed quantum computer will significantly improve computing efficiency and accuracy by greatly increasing the number of quantum bits.
Quantum computing, a technological miracle once regarded as science fiction, is now gradually moving from theory to reality, and is showing its disruptive computing potential in continuous iterations. The development of quantum computing can be traced back to the 1980s, when physicist Richard Feynman first proposed the concept of quantum simulation. After that, scientists demonstrated the feasibility of quantum computing through a series of verification experiments, pointing out that quantum computers can be used to solve difficult problems.
The integrated development of quantum computing, supercomputing, and intelligent computing is becoming a reality, and major countries around the world are accelerating the layout of establishing a quantum-classical collaborative computing platform. Industry insiders believe that as countries actively develop application ecosystems, “quantum practicality” may break out at any time.
WiMi has made important progress in the quantum field
Facing this cutting-edge scientific and technological strategic goal, data shows that listed company WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ: WIMI) has long been committed to the research of quantum computing and further promoted the development of quantum computing technology. With the gradual maturity of quantum technology, WiMi has accelerated the expansion of potential application areas of quantum computing, such as quantum computing hardware development and quantum communication network construction, which has attracted widespread attention in the industry.
It is worth mentioning that WiMi has developed a hybrid CPU chip-cloud computing-FPGA quantum artificial intelligence simulator, which uses the parallel processing capabilities and programmability of FPGA to perform specific quantum computing tasks. FPGA (field programmable gate array) is a hardware device that can be programmed to perform specific tasks. By integrating FPGA into the simulator, the simulation speed of quantum algorithms can be significantly improved while reducing power consumption.
With the rapid development of quantum computing technology, it has become a consensus to accelerate the layout of “quantum technology”, and the industry predicts that the time for quantum computing to generate commercial value has been greatly advanced. WiMi is facing the upcoming more rapid technological trend. Next, with the continuous maturity of quantum technology and the continuous expansion of application fields, the computing power leap brought by quantum computing will be further expanded, and there will be many cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements in the future that are also full of expectations.
Conclusion
The development of quantum computers is a never-ending scientific exploration journey. It is like a master key that opens new doors for the development of various fields and lays a solid foundation for the rapid development of related industries. The breakthroughs of many technology giants in 2025 will also push human society into a new stage of development. Let us wait and see and uncover more mysteries about the quantum world.
