Google has achieved a major milestone in quantum computing as company's Willow quantum processor has achieved what he termed the first-ever verifiable quantum advantage which will pave the way for new applications in drug discovery and materials sciences.
Sharing the quantum computing breakthrough on X, Google and Alphabet's CEO Sundar Pichai highlighted how the new algorithm can "explain interactions between atoms in a molecule using nuclear magnetic resonance" and also pave the way for future discovery in drugs and materials science.
