Using the company's state-of-the-art quantum computer, called Sycamore, Google has claimed "quantum supremacy" over the most powerful supercomputers in the world by solving a problem considered virtually impossible for normal machines.

About:

The quantum computer completed the complex computation in 200 seconds. That same calculation would take even the most powerful supercomputers approximastely 10,000 years to finish.
Google's quantum computer consists of microscopic circuits of superconducting metal that entangle 53 qubits in a complex superposition state.
Although this Google achievement is certainly a feat in the world of quantum computing, the field is still in its infancy and practical quantum computers remain far on the horizon.
