Google Quantum AI is a research division within Google dedicated to building large-scale, error-corrected quantum computers. Its work spans a full-stack approach, integrating hardware development - primarily using superconducting qubits and neutral atoms - with quantum software research. The division is based in Santa Barbara, California.
The team develops both experimental hardware and open-source software tools for quantum computing. Notable projects include the Willow quantum chip, which demonstrated breakthrough error correction, and the Quantum Echoes algorithm, described as the first verifiable quantum advantage algorithm. Its open-source offerings include Cirq and Qualtran, software frameworks for quantum computing.
Research at Google Quantum AI spans quantum error correction, neutral atom systems, and quantum software. The division's work targets problems in computation that are otherwise unsolvable with classical computers.
