BBC lied about Google Willow.

Quantum computers are useless forever
Google Willow fake quantum supremacy

All quantum computers including Google Willow are useless, too error-prone to give right answers, unable to correct errors forever, but fake news says they could finally correct errors !

(Fig.1)  BBC fake news = Google Willow quantum computer could correct errors.

The mainstream media spread fake news.

All the mainstream media tries to hide the inconvenient fact that today's quantum computers including Google Willow are useless, can never correct errors.

The 23th-paragraph of this recent BBC says  -- Fake news
"All the machines are really still at the toy model stage, they make mistakes. They need error correction. Willow was the first to demonstrate that you could do error correction"

↑ This is clearly fake news.  Google latest quantum computer called Willow allegedly "using fantasy parallel universes is also still useless, too error-prone to give right "answers, so their quantum advantage "13000 times faster than classical computer !" is a total lie.

Even Google quantum computers cannot correct errors.

Contrary to overhyped fake news, today's quantum computers including Google Willow can never correct errors nor give right answers, so No real quantum advantage.

This-The Reality in 2026 says  -- Error-prone quantum computer
"However, we are still in what's known as the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era an important but transitional phase where quantum devices are too limited in size and too error-prone to outperform classical systems "

This-last-Final thoughts (2026) say  -- No error correction
"But let's not forget the hurdles – atomic loss, error correction, qubit instability…etc. remain critical challenges."

This-7th and 2nd-last paragraphs (2026) say  -- Error-prone Willow
"Because Willow has more noise (= errors ), meaning it is less error-free (= more error-prone ), than the ideal theoretical quantum computer (= ideal quantum computers mean errorless classical computers )"

"However, the demonstration isn't yet a proof of a quantum advantage that could be put to practical use because the 2018 algorithm rigorously proved the quantum computer's superiority over classical computers only for a larger number of qubits than Willow has, and by using qubits that are less error-prone"  ← Willow is still too error-prone

This-middle-Challenges and Future steps say  -- No error correction
"issues like qubit instability and error correction remain."  ← still quantum error-correction is impossible.

The 2nd-last paragraph of even this overhyped news admits  -- Error-prone, useless
"Current error rates around 0.14% per cycle still need to drop to 10^-6 for practical large-scale algorithms."  → Quantum computer Willow is still too error-prone to be practical.

The media tries to hide inconvenient truth = errors.

A lot of media try to hide the inconvenient truth that Google Willow quantum computer 13000 times faster than a classical computer is fake because today's quantum computers give only wrong erroneous answers while classical computers give only exact answers.

↑ It seems the media desperately tries to hide the inconvenient fact that today's quantum computers are useless, too error-prone, unable to correct errors, hence, their quantum advantage or speed-up is fake by lying: "Google Willow corrected errors ! (= blatant fake news )."

The 1st-paragraph of even this recent news (2026) says  -- Erroneous quantum
"they (= quantum computers ) remain extremely sensitive to environmental disturbances and prone to information loss (= errors )."
