In this episode of the Index AI Podcast, host Hannah Zhao takes you on a deep dive into the revolutionary world of quantum computing with a focus on Google Quantum AI and their groundbreaking Willow quantum chip. Discover how this cutting-edge technology is solving problems that would take classical supercomputers 10 septillion years to crack—challenges that were once thought to be impossible.

Hannah explores the science behind quantum mechanics, the unique properties of qubits, and how Google’s below-threshold error correction is overcoming one of the biggest hurdles in quantum computing. Learn about the real-world applications of this technology, from drug discovery and material science to climate modeling and artificial intelligence.

The episode also highlights how Google Quantum AI is making quantum computing accessible to everyone. From open-source software like Cirq and OpenFermion to educational resources like their Coursera course, Google is building a global community of quantum enthusiasts.

Hannah discusses the broader implications of quantum computing, including its potential to revolutionize industries, tackle global challenges like climate change, and even reshape cybersecurity with post-quantum cryptography.

Whether you're a tech enthusiast, a science nerd, or just curious about the future of computing, this episode offers a fascinating look at how quantum technology is poised to change the world.
