Description

Google's Willow quantum chip has achieved the first verifiable quantum advantage, running an algorithm 13,000 times faster than the world's best supercomputers. The Quantum Echoes algorithm measures molecular structures by sending signals through quantum bits, then reversing them to detect amplified echoes. This breakthrough enhances nuclear magnetic resonance technology, revealing atomic positions in molecules with unprecedented precision. In tests, Willow analyzed molecules containing up to 28 atoms, matching traditional results while uncovering information conventional methods cannot detect. Unlike previous quantum demonstrations with no practical applications, this advancement could accelerate drug discovery and materials science, bringing quantum computers closer to solving real-world scientific problems by decade's end.
