Like the great Geoffrey Chaucer once said, “all good things must come to an end.” On January 6, 2025, the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation after eleven years in the office, serving nine as prime minister and two in the Liberal Party. Trudeau was elected three times in his career in office, his most recent election being in 2021, remaining in power but losing his governing majority. Trudeau has been faced with a climbing set of issues, beginning with President Donald Trump’s tariff threats to the resignation of the key allies and catastrophic opinion polls. Trudeau began his power back in 2015, saying he had many good plans for Canada. During his time as Prime Minister, Trudeau combated various significant issues that Canada has been faced with in years past, combatting climate change tirelessly and addressed historic abuses against indigenous peoples. However, Trudeau has been looked down upon because of his economic discontent. A confrontation with a steelworker who criticized Trudeau for failing to address the inflated cost of living set off all the hate towards Trudeau among many Canadians. Many Canadians have come to think that Trudeau was not doing much for the country. In recent months, US president-elect Donald Trump has said that he will sign an executive order imposing a 25 percent tariff on all products coming into the United States from Canada. Trump has also been denigrating Canada through social media, referring to Trudeau as the ‘governor’ of the ‘Great State of Canada.’ None the less, after a great nine years of Justin Trudeau being Prime Minister of our neighboring country, Canada, he will be stepping down and handing over the role to potential worthy candidates Chrystia Freeland, Mark Carney, François-Philippe Champagne, or Christy Clark. to add more qubits to make the computer more enhanced/powerful. Take for example LEGO blocks. If it is a scalable structure, then the more blocks you add make it stronger but if it is not scalable then it weakens the structure the more blocks you add.
Overall, Google’s Willow is a chip that is pushing closer to achieving full success rates for quantum computing. The chip Willow is currently in a state called the “Noisy intermediate–scale quantum (NISQ) era. This means that it can perform immensely useful tasks but is not to perfection with zero errors. Fault-tolerant quantum computing remains a long-term goal in Google’s future to reach new heights beyond the limits of a classical computer.
