Río Gévalo en el entorno de Patagallina, por el color de su bosque de ribera y de los Montes de Toledo que abandona.

Red Willow(Salix laevigata)is a fast-growing, medium-sized deciduous tree native to western North America, particularly common in California from sea level to 5,000ft. Native Americans historically used its flexible branches for construction and medicinal purposes.

The last of my planned planting projects for this winter, and possibly the most exciting - my first foray into living #willow structures.

For our own kids and the others in our #HomeEd community with whom we share our space in the warmer months, a secret place for imagination and adventure hidden from adult eyes.

For the adults, a secluded space for quiet time and reflection or for gathering together, for summer sunbathing or winter fire.

Looking forward to watching it establish and grow.

A circle, around six metres across,of freshly planted willow rods, mostly planted diagonally in both directions with upright rods periodically. They are woven into a fence about 160cm high. There is a wide opening on the near side, and a narrow opening on the far side, both marked by wooden tree stakes 

The ground has been mulched with leaves around the base of the willow rods. Inside and around the circle is mostly grass. 

Each individual rod has been protected with a plastic rabbit guard at the base, and the whole circle is surrounded with a fence of chicken wire supported on yellow and blue electric fence stakes.

There are trees and a blackthorn hedge in the background, and beyond the hedge a grassy field.

Google Willow: The secrets of the world’s most powerful quantum computer

Inside the sub-zero lair of the world’s most powerful computer

By Faisal Islam, Economics editor

Inside the secretive lab which stores the world’s most powerful computer

It looks like a golden chandelier and contains the coldest place in the known universe.

What I am looking at is not just the most powerful computer in the world, but technology pivotal to financial security, Bitcoin, government secrets, the world economy and more.

Quantum computing holds the key to which companies and countries win – and lose – the rest of the 21st Century.

In front of me suspended a metre in the air, in a Google facility in Santa Barbara California, is Willow. Frankly, it was not what I expected.

There are no screens or keyboards, let alone holographic head cams or brain-reading chips.

Willow is an oil barrel-sized series of round discs connected by hundreds of black control wires descending into a bronze liquid helium bath refrigerator keeping the quantum microchip a thousandth of a degree above absolute zero.

It looks, and feels, very eighties, but if quantum’s potential is realised, the metal and wire jellyfish structure in front of me will transform the world, in many ways.

“Welcome to our Quantum AI lab,” says Hartmut Neven, Google’s Quantum AI chief, as we go through the high security door.

Neven is something of a legendary figure, part technological genius, part techno music enthusiast, who dresses like he has snowboarded here straight from the Burning Man music festival – for which he designs art. Perhaps he has, in a parallel universe – more on that later.

His mission is to turn theoretical physics into functional quantum computers “to solve otherwise unsolvable problems” and he admits he’s biased but says these chandeliers are the best performing in the world.

Secret temple of high science

Much of our conversation is about what we are not allowed to film in this restricted lab. This critical technology is subject to export controls, secrecy and is at the heart of a race for commercial and economic supremacy. Any small advantage, from the shape of new components to the companies in global supply chains, is a source of potential leverage.

There is a notable Californian vibe in this temple of high science, in its art and colour. Each quantum computer is given a name such as Yakushima or Mendocino, they are each wrapped in a piece of contemporary art, and various graffiti-style murals adorn the walls illuminated by the bright winter sun.

Neven holds up Willow, Google’s latest quantum chip, which has delivered two important milestones. He said it settled “once and for all” the discussion about whether quantum computers can do tasks that classical computers can’t.

Willow also solved a benchmark problem in minutes that would have taken the best computer in the world 10 septillion years, so more than a trillion trillion, or one with 25 zeros on the end, more than the age of the universe.

This theoretical result was recently applied to the Quantum Echoes algorithm, impossible for conventional computers, which helps learn the structure of molecules from the same technology used in MRI machines.
