Congrats to Matt Kovacs-Deak, Daochen Wang, and (undergraduate student!) Rain Zimin Yang on resolving the 30+ year old conjecture (by Lance Fortnow) in query complexity on rational degree vs. degree. What's more, the proof is like ~2 pages if you know the standard tools!

Are you a computer scientist and don't know what an OTOC is, but want to understand the problem solved in the @Nature paper by @GoogleQuantumAI? We wrote a 2-page note that explains the motivation and presents a simplified version of the problem for arbitrary input size.

Today in @Nature, we published a breakthrough demonstration of verifiable quantum advantage using a measurement known as out-of-time-order correlator (OTOC), or Quantum Echoes. Performed on our Willow chip, it paves a path toward real-world applications → goo.gle/3Jqaqst

Are you a PhD student in quantum computing and interested in working with our team in 2026 as a student researcher (i.e., an internship that's ~3 months and in-person at our office)? If so, apply here: google.com/about/careers/…

Fresh on the arXiv: @BooleanAnalysis, Kewen Wu, and I present new classical algorithms for the Short Integer Solution problem (under infinity norm) that outperform the elegant Chen-Liu-Zhandry quantum algorithm, showing that there is no exponential quantum speed up anymore.

New paper on the arXiv with David Gosset and Google student researcher Chenyi Zhang on how to implement an n-qubit Toffoli gate (approximately) with exponentially fewer T gates than previously thought.

Hermite polynomials are ubiquitous in physics, signal analysis, statistics, and beyond. Our new work gives an algorithm to convert between the computational and discretized Hermite bases efficiently.

This is very nice progress on a question that remains tantalizingly open. It was great having you as a student researcher on the team!
Norah Tan@NorahTan1

This summer as a Student Researcher at @GoogleQuantumAI, I studied a problem that's been on my mind since I first learned quantum computing: unitary synthesis. In this work, I lower the asymptotic T-count for decomposing any n-qubit unitary, improving the best bound since 2018.

Researchers from our team and @CarnegieMellon just published in PRX on a new family of quantum algorithms that provide a quartic speedup for a broad class of planted inference problems that may have applications in cryptography and learning. Read more ↓ goo.gle/4dL8EwJ

If you’re concerned about extinction risk due to AI, I recommend pre-ordering this book and sharing it with your friends. I haven’t read the book yet, but I’ve read many of Eliezer’s writings and I’m sure this will be a great book!
Eliezer Yudkowsky ⏹️@ESYudkowsky

Nate Soares and I are publishing a traditional book: _If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies: Why Superhuman AI Would Kill Us All_. Coming in Sep 2025. You should probably read it! Given that, we'd like you to preorder it! Nowish!
