What if it was guaranteed?

Hey everyone,

Welcome back to Stocks To Space, where I curate the best ideas, tools and resources I’ve found each week as I explore my curiosities.

IDEAS
What if it was guaranteed?

What would you do right now if, no matter what you did, success was guaranteed?

Imagine technology, market movements, consumer trends, hiring decisions, and everything else outside of and within your control just working.

Would you still be anxious? How would you spend your time?

What would you do if it was guaranteed?

Google announces Willow, their state-of-the-art quantum chip

Google just unveiled Willow, a quantum chip pushing the boundaries of what's possible. The 105-qubit chip can perform calculations that take today's fastest supercomputers ten septillion years in under five minutes. For context, that exceeds the age of our universe. As if that wasn’t enough, it also reduces errors exponentially as it scales up with more qubits, solving a 30-year-old challenge in quantum error correction. Willow marks a significant step toward building practical, large-scale quantum computers that could literally transform the world as we know it.

Willow is both exciting and scary. On the one hand, it has the potential to supercharge scientific development and unlock computational breakthroughs we've only dreamed of. But on the other hand, it poses a threat to digital security. The first victim that springs to everyone’s mind is Bitcoin. Although estimates suggest we'd need millions of qubits to break its encryption, we can’t get complacent. This is the world’s chance to build quantum-resistant solutions before the technology advances beyond our reach.

THOUGHTS
Quote I’m Pondering

When a journalist asked Don Valentine to explain his investing success, he needed no more than two sentences.

“That’s easy,” the founder of Sequoia Capital said. “I just follow Moore's Law and make a few guesses about its consequences.”
