Imagine a machine so powerful it can solve an extremely complex math problem in just a few minutes, one that would take the world’s most powerful supercomputer septillion of years to solve. Sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie, right? Well, Google has introduced just such a chip: Willow, their latest Quantum Computing marvel. According to Google, Willow can solve the same calculation in under five minutes—no time travel needed. Let’s dive into everything we know about this futuristic powerhouse.
What’s all the buzz about Willow?
Willow is Google Quantum AI’s latest “state-of-the-art” quantum processor, which is a massive leap forward in developing a large-scale, error-corrected quantum computer. And let me tell you, this has been the challenge for tech geeks for decades. But before getting into the depths of Willow, let’s first start with what quantum computing is.
At its core, quantum computing is like a whole new way of thinking about how computers process information. Regular computers use bits, which are like tiny switches that can be either on (1) or off (0). But in the quantum world, instead of bits, we have qubits (quantum bits). A qubit can be 0, 1, or both at the same time. This is called superposition.
Now, let’s see this in a non-technical way. Imagine you flip a coin and while it’s in the air, it’s not really heads or tails—it’s kind of a mix of both. That’s like a qubit in superposition. It can be in multiple states at once, which allows quantum computers to tackle problems in ways that classical computers can’t. Think about trying to find the perfect molecule to cure a disease. A regular computer would try every combination, one by one, and take forever (literally years). A quantum computer? It could look at many possibilities at once and potentially find the answer in no time.
Now that we have a sense of quantum computing, let’s talk about Willow. Google demonstrated Willow’s power by solving a complex mathematical problem in just five minutes, a calculation that would take the fastest supercomputer 10 septillion years to complete. Yeah, that’s 10 followed by 24 zeros. I don’t think there exists such complex calculations in real life. Not that we’re expecting to need such a calculation any time soon, but the point is, that this is where quantum computing could take us. Willow is showing us the future.
We see Willow as an important step in our journey to build a useful quantum computer with practical applications in areas like drug discovery, fusion energy, battery design + more. Details here: https://t.co/dgPuXOoBSZ
Here’s the cherry on top: Willow addresses one of the biggest issues with quantum computing—errors. For decades, as more qubits were added, quantum computers became more error-prone. Willow, however, reduces these error rates, an achievement that many experts thought was still light-years away. The more qubits you add to Willow, the fewer the errors. It’s like the machine gets better as it gets bigger. If this works in real-world applications, Willow could help solve some of the planet’s most complex problems faster than ever before.
Is Quantum Computing going to break the internet?
Of course, with great power comes great concern. People are already speculating that Willow’s quantum computing expertise could break the encryption that protects our digital world, including things like Bitcoin. In other words, is Willow the end of online security as we know it? Well, hold your horses. Experts have pointed out that to really threaten Bitcoin’s security, a quantum computer would need around 13 million qubits while Willow currently has only 105 qubits. The concern is a bit premature and for now, we’re safe.
Could Willow prove the multiverse exists?
And here’s where things get a little out there; some scientists believe that the power of quantum computing might be able to prove the existence of a multiverse. No official news on that yet, but hey, if we can have a chip that can solve math problems that would take billions of years in five minutes, anything’s possible, right?
Google’s Quantum Chip Willow: Conclusion
All in all, Google’s quantum chip Willow is a game-changer. It’s the shiny new toy in the quantum computing world, and if Google’s chip lives up to its promise, we could be looking at one of the most impactful technological advancements in history. Whether Willow will solve our world’s problems or just give us more mind-blowing things to think about, I’m definitely excited to see where it goes.
Roaming becomes quite an important thing when you are traveling to a foreign country. It allows you to use your domestic SIM abroad.

How to Activate International Roaming in Ncell?
How does Roaming work?
Well, roaming basically works by connecting to a local carrier network of the foreign country you’re in. For international roaming, carriers sign an agreement to facilitate each other’s use of their network. For example, when you activate roaming in Ncell, it will use Airtel’s mobile network when you are in India. Plus, you also need to activate roaming data options on your smartphone in order to use data connection.

Samsung offers a ton of useful built-in features that many users either overlook or simply don’t know about. They might be buried deep within your phone’s settings, or perhaps they’re just not talked about enough. But trust me, once you discover these features, you’ll wonder how you ever have lived without them (yeah… I exaggerated a little but these features are honestly so useful). Let’s dive into some of the most underrated Samsung features you should know about.
Samsung OneUI features worth trying
Quick Share
Quick Share is a feature on Samsung devices that allows you to instantly send images, videos, and files to up to five people without the need for pairing devices. It’s simple, fast, and doesn’t require any third-party apps. You can find it on Android 6 and later. This feature is not limited only to Samsung phones, in fact,t it is accessible to any other Android phone, Windows, and ChromeOS.
Here’s how you can use it:
Go to Settings > Search for Quick Share.
Under “Who can share with you,” change it to “Everyone.”
Enable the “Show available devices on the share panel” option (ensure Quick Share is enabled on both devices).
Open the Gallery app, select the file, and tap the Quick Share icon. Choose the device you want to send the file to.
On the receiving device, accept the transfer.
Moreover, for added security, you can send photos privately with a self-destruct option, meaning they’ll disappear after a set time. To do this, just tap “Turn on Private Sharing” before sending. The recipient won’t be able to screenshot or share the image, making this a great feature for sharing sensitive content.
1 of 3
I have been using Quick Share on my Samsung Galaxy S24 for a while now, and trust me this feature is incredibly convenient. No sign-ins, no verifications, and you know what? You don’t have to prove your phone that you are “not a robot” hahaha!
Samsung Keyboard
How do you usually type on your phone? One letter at a time? If you’re a Samsung user, you have the option to swipe/slide to type instead. It may sound strange at first, but once you get the hang of it, it’s fun.
To enable this feature:
Go to Settings > Samsung Keyboard.
Scroll down to Swipe, Touch, and Feedback.
Under Keyboard swipe control, change the setting from “No swipe gestures” to “Swipe to type.”
1 of 2
Once activated, you can swipe your finger from one letter to the next instead of tapping each key individually. It takes a little getting used to, but it can speed up your typing once you master it. This feature is available in almost every latest Samsung phone. If you ask me, I didn’t find this feature very useful and the “tuk tuk” sound on my keyboard while tapping is what makes texting fun for me.
Secure Folder
On the third of the list of built-in features, we have Samsung’s Secure Folder. This feature lets you hide photos, videos, and even apps, keeping them safe from prying eyes. The best part? No one will have the slightest hint that this folder exists on your phone. Later, you can access these hidden items by simply searching for the Secure Folder. Remember to tap “Lock and Exit” when you’re done to keep everything secure.
Here’s how to set it up:
Go to Settings > Secure Folder.
Tap “Continue” and log into your Samsung account (or create one).
Follow the prompts to set up your folder and choose your preferred lock type.
Now, you can move photos, videos, or apps to the Secure Folder by selecting the items in your Gallery and tapping the three dots in the top-right corner. Choose “Move to Secure Folder.”
To add apps, open the Secure Folder, tap the plus icon, and select the apps you want to add.
1 of 2
This feature is available in One UI 2.0 and later. Secure Folder is preloaded on Samsung and onwards and for other devices running Android N (the seventh major version and 14th original version of the Android), it can be downloaded from Google Play or Galaxy Apps.
Samsung Find
If you are someone (like me) who leaves the phone literally anywhere and realizes it’s missing after a while, Samsung Find can be a lifesaver. You can locate your phone, even if it’s in silent mode, and it works with other Samsung devices as well. For this, you will need to log into Samsung Find on your other device. (your personal laptop maybe).
Choose your lost device and hit “Ring” to make it sound off, so you can track it down.
1 of 5
This feature is available on phones running on One UI 2 (Android Q OS) or later. Furthermore, if your phone is lost or stolen, you can use this feature to remotely lock your device or erase your data, ensuring your personal information stays safe.
Wireless Power Share
This is one of the most useful features of Samsung phones I have seen. The Wireless Power Share will let you charge your other devices using your Samsung phone. YES, NOT THE CHARGER BUT YOUR PHONE! This feature is available on one UI 6 later and Android 14 update. Only devices that support wireless charging can be charged using this feature (even compatible with iOS). Here’s how you can activate this feature:
Settings < Battery < Wireless Power Sharing
Turn on the sharing button.
Now you can share your phone’s charge with any other device.

Some additional features
Samsung DeX: Allows your mobile to connect with your PC giving you the big screen experience with the same apps you use on your phone every day.
Always On Display (AOD): Displays key information like the time, notifications, and calendar events without needing to wake up the phone.
Samsung Health: Tracks your physical activity, sleep, and heart rate, and provides fitness challenges and health insights
Samsung Knox: A multi-layered security feature that protects your device from malware and unauthorized access.
One-Handed Mode: Reduces the screen size for easier one-handed use, especially on larger phones.
Adaptive Battery: Learns your usage patterns and limits battery power to apps you don’t use frequently, helping extend battery life.
Final thoughts
Samsung’s phones come with so many hidden built-in features, and these are just a few of the ones I think deserve more attention. From easier file sharing to better security and tracking, these underrated features can truly enhance your user experience. So, the next time you use your Samsung device, take a moment to explore these features—you’ll be glad you did! However, it is important to note that some budget phones of Samsung use One UI core instead of Samsung UI, which might not support the features mentioned above.
