Google's latest quantum breakthrough is 13,000x faster than supercomputers Google unveiled its Quantum Echoes algorithm that blows past previous quantum developments with verifiable results. Google has taken a decisive step towards practical quantum computers. A research team from Google Quantum AI has reported the first "verifiable quantum advantage" --in other words, a measurable computing advantage over conventional supercomputers that can be reproduced by other systems. At the center of it all is a new algorithm called "Quantum Echoes," which ran on Google's new "Willow" quantum processor that was unveiled in December 2024.
