🔲🌐Google Quantum AI was founded in 2012.
Hartmut Neven - Founder and Head, Google Quantum AI says:
"Willow performed a standard benchmark calculation in less than five minutes that would take one of today's fastest supercomputers 10 septillion (i.e., 10 to the 25th power) years - a number that greatly exceeds the age of the universe. This lends credence to the idea that quantum computing occurs in many parallel universes, consistent with the idea that we live in a multiverse, a prediction first made by David Deutsch.
It can also reduce errors exponentially using more qubits, which has been a challenge pursued for at least 30 years."
"My colleagues sometimes ask me why I left the burgeoning field of AI to focus on quantum computing. My answer is that both will prove to be the most transformative technologies of our time, but advanced AI will benefit greatly from access to quantum computing. That's why I named our lab Quantum AI. So quantum computing will be indispensable for gathering training data that is inaccessible to classical machines. It will help us discover new drugs, design more efficient batteries for electric cars, and accelerate advances in fusion and new energy alternatives. Many of these future game-changing applications will not be feasible on classical computers; they are waiting to be unlocked with quantum computing."
