About the Session
Google Quantum AI's mission is to build quantum computing for otherwise unsolvable problems. Join Charina Chou and Dave Bacon as they discuss Google's strategy for achieving this goal, and Google's roadmap for developing large-scale, error-corrected quantum computers. They'll highlight key advancements in quantum hardware and software, from current breakthroughs in error correction to future applications in fields like medicine, materials science, and AI. This includes Google's latest progress with Willow, Google Quantum AI's new state-of-the-art quantum chip, which represents a significant step towards developing a large-scale, error-corrected quantum computer.
