Google claims first ‘verifiable’ quantum advantage for Willow chip

Google achieves the first verifiable quantum advantage with the Willow chip, enhancing understanding of complex quantum systems through innovative measurement techniques.

Meet ‘Willow’: The quantum hardware engine behind Google’s latest breakthrough

Yesterday, Google’s Quantum AI team announced a historic achievement: the first-ever demonstration of verifiable quantum advantage. This milestone, a critical step towards practical quantum computing, wasn’t just an algorithmic breakthrough; it was made possible by decades of investment and innovation in the underlying quantum hardware. The star of that hardware story is Google’s state-of-the-art quantum […]

Google brings quantum computing a step closer to real-world applications

Google has announced new research that shows — for the first time in history — that a quantum computer can successfully run a verifiable algorithm on hardware, surpassing even the fastest classical supercomputers – running 13 000-times faster. It can compute the structure of a molecule, and paves a path towards real-world applications. The announcement comes on the back of six years of breakthroughs. In 2019, Google demonstrated that a quantum c…

Google claims quantum advantage with Willow breakthrough

By Larry DignanGoogle said its Willow quantum computing chip has achieved quantum advantage. Google's breakthrough hit pure play quantum computing companies. In a post on X, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said Willow ran an algorithm called Quantum Echoes 13,000x faster than the world's faster supercomputer. The Quantum Echoes algorithm explained interactions between atoms in a molecule using nuclear magnetic resonance. Google's breakthrough was publi…
