Listen "Quantum Echoes: Verifiable Advantage on Google's Willow Chip"

Episode Synopsis

We dive into Google's Quantum Echoes algorithm and its claim of a verifiable quantum speedup on real hardware using the Willow chip. Learn how Out-of-Time-Order Correlators map information scrambling, and how time-reversal echoes create a repeatable, benchmarkable signal. From 28-atom molecular rulers to potential breakthroughs in drug discovery and materials science, we explore what verifiable quantum advantage means for scaling, error suppression, and the path to fault-tolerant quantum computing.Note: This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make mistakes.
