In a historic leap for computing technology, Google has announced that its Willow quantum processor has achieved the world’s first verifiable quantum advantage, a milestone published in Nature on October 22, 2025.

The breakthrough centres on a new algorithm, Quantum Echoes, which runs 13,000 times faster than one of the world’s most powerful supercomputers, marking a moment long anticipated by scientists and technologists alike.

Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet, shared the news on X, calling the achievement a step toward the first real-world applications of quantum computing.

“Our Willow chip has achieved the first-ever verifiable quantum advantage,” Pichai posted. “This new algorithm can explain interactions between atoms in a molecule using nuclear magnetic resonance, paving
