New Delhi: Google has made another massive breakthrough in computing with the announcement that its Willow quantum processor has made the first verifiable quantum advantage in the world, a milestone scientists and technologists have long been waiting to see. The breakthrough was published in Nature on October 22, 2025, and the new algorithm called Quantum Echoes is 13,000 times faster than one of the fastest computers in the world. These results can also be readily checked and recreated by other quantum systems, unlike earlier displays of quantum supremacy.

The discovery was celebrated by Google CEO Sundar Pichai as one step toward real-world uses of quantum computing. “Our Willow chip is the first to attain a verifiable quantum benefit,” posted on X by Pichai. The algorithm is capable o
