A few years back, Google made waves when it claimed that some of its hardware had achieved quantum supremacy, performing operations that would be effectively impossible to simulate on a classical ...

Enabled by the introduction of its Willow quantum chip last year, Google today claims it's conducted breakthrough research that confirms it can create real-world applications for quantum computers.

Alex Knapp is a Forbes senior editor covering healthcare and science. This isn’t the first time Google—or other quantum computing companies—have claimed this type of “quantum supremacy,” but two ...

Researchers at USTC in China turned to microwave-based error correction to achieve a distance-7 logical qubit, much like ...

A verified leap flips the script on computing power. The stock market has a new obsession this year, and it’s not just AI. Quantum computing stocks have had a rollicking 2025, becoming arguably the ...

For quantum computers to change the game of computation, scientists need to show that the machines’ calculations are correct. Now, there’s hope. Google’s Willow quantum chip has achieved verifiable ...

Governments and tech companies continue to pour money into quantum technology in the hopes of building a supercomputer that can work at speeds we can't yet fathom to solve big problems.

Designed to accelerate advances in medicine and other fields, the tech giant’s quantum algorithm runs 13,000 times as fast as software written for a traditional supercomputer. A quantum computer at ...
