Google said its computer using the new Willow quantum chip beat the Frontier supercomputer in running a benchmark algorithm, doing in minutes what would take Frontier ...

Google says its new quantum processing unit (QPU), dubbed "Willow," is the first in the world to achieve results that are "below threshold" — a milestone outlined by computer scientist Peter ...

Google disclosed the results in the journal Nature on Wednesday. The achievement came after more than a decade of work at Google, including the use of its own quantum computing chip, called Sycamore.

Google Quantum AI's Hartmut Neven (L) and Anthony Megrant (R) examine a cryostat refrigerator for cooling quantum computing chips at Google's Quantum AI lab in Santa Barbara, California, U.S ...

Like all quantum computers, Google's processor still suffers from decoherence, which can cause a decay in the qubits' quantum states, and means that time crystals' oscillations inevitably die out ...

Google's current quantum computer operates with 70 operational qubits. For lack of a better process, the research team tested using a complex, synthetic benchmark called Random Circuit Sampling (RCS).

Google developers are confident they can build a commercial-grade quantum computer by 2029. Google CEO Sundar Pichai announced the plan during today's I/O stream, and in a blog post, quantum AI ...

For those who want to try out Google's quantum computer, the company plans to make it available as a cloud computing service in 2020. That follows in the footsteps of IBM, which already has done ...

Any quantum system, no matter how it's prepared (the Google team used superconducting qubits, but other quantum computers, using quantum dots or ion traps, for example, are also possible), will ...
