Google Quantum AI

We demonstrated verifiable quantum advantage with Quantum Echoes. Running 13,000x faster than leading supercomputers, this represents a significant step toward real-world applications. Watch → goo.gle/48Gnbtl

Apply now for Google’s academic research awards, a global open call for proposals on groundbreaking foundational and applied research in computing and technology. This cycle, Google is interested in proposals on early fault tolerant quantum computing algorithms and applications, and quantum computing security. Learn more and apply by August 7 at goo.gle/gara

Published today in @Nature: We've unified calibration with computation on our Willow processor, training a reinforcement learning agent to stabilize the logical qubit and pave the way towards a quantum computer that continuously learns from its errors. Read more: goo.gle/3T8N3rP

Studying particle diffusion in quantum systems is a major classical computing challenge. Our Willow processor was used to demonstrate disorder-free localization via a quantum algorithm which offers a polynomial speedup for disorder sampling. Read more: goo.gle/4fdOn5k

Today's executive orders are an important step to help ensure continued US leadership in quantum computing. Google was honored to participate in today's signing ceremony, and we look forward to continued collaboration with the U.S. government. whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…

Last month, we hosted our annual Quantum Summer Symposium (QSS) at @DatalandMuseum, bringing together our partners, collaborators, and the broader quantum community. Watch the highlight reel to see a recap of the updates and discussions from the event: youtu.be/-Uyx-3ii6V8

Today, Charina Chou joins Semafor Tech: First Principles to discuss how emerging technologies like quantum computing can transform research achievements into to practical impact. Watch here: goo.gle/4vAyfA9

In case you missed it: Hartmut Neven and James Manyika took the #GoogleIO stage to discuss the intersection of quantum computing and AI. If you couldn't make the session, watch the full recording to discover how these two technologies work together: goo.gle/3PC5Zhx

Quantum systems are everywhere, just look at nature itself. Our COO, Charina Chou, explains how quantum mechanics is hiding in plain sight.

How are quantum computing & AI working together to accelerate discovery? Tune in for Hartmut Neven & James Manyika’s discussion at #GoogleIO to explore how AI can build quantum hardware, while quantum unlocks new ways to train AI. io.google/2026/explore/p…

We’re launching REPLIQA: a $10M research initiative with @Googleorg and five leading universities to apply advanced quantum science and AI to the life sciences. Read more: goo.gle/432T7DW

Our team ran a verifiable quantum algorithm that probes how parts of a quantum system interact, from molecules to magnets and beyond. On our Willow chip, it ran 13,000× faster than the best classical supercomputers. A first in quantum computing → goo.gle/42z9E2d

How do quantum algorithms become real-world tools? This five-stage framework maps the progression from discovery to deployment, showing where applications demonstrate advantage, can be further optimized, and hold the greatest potential. Learn more → goo.gle/4exsT3s
