India, Oct. 23 -- Google's Quantum AI team has announced a significant breakthrough, claiming the first-ever verifiable quantum advantage on hardware using their Willow quantum chip and a new algorithm called Quantum Echoes. The research, published in the journal Nature on 22 October 2025, marks a step toward practical, real-world applications for quantum computing, particularly in fields like drug discovery and materials science.

The experiment demonstrated that the Quantum Echoes algorithm runs approximately 13,000 times faster on the Willow chip than the best classical algorithm could on one of the world's fastest supercomputers for the same task.

Today, we're announcing a major breakthrough that marks a significant step forward in t...
