Tom O'Brien, a Quantum researcher at Google, gives us some insights into what his team is doing. Here is what he has to say: 'Since the early 90's, quantum computers have generated interest with their promise to achieve an exponential speedup in computation time for certain tasks. However, realising this potential has proven difficult due to the inherent fragility of the quantum state, requiring aggressive error correction protocols to maintain. With recent demonstrations of quantum supremacy and small-scale optimization, chemistry and physics algorithms, and the recent release of our roadmap towards a fault-tolerant quantum computer, Google Quantum AI has brought tantalisingly close the promise of a quantum computer finding useful applications in science and industry. In this talk, Tom O'Brien will outline our recent advances, the challenges we can foresee in the next few years, and where we might hope to find the first useful applications of a quantum computer.'
