Our Quantum Echoes algorithm is a big step toward real-world applications for quantum computing
Our latest quantum breakthrough, Quantum Echoes, offers a path toward unprecedented scientific discoveries and analysis.

Quantum Echoes can be useful in learning the structure of systems in nature, from molecules to magnets to black holes, and we’ve demonstrated it runs 13,000 times faster on Willow than the best classical algorithm on one of the world’s fastest supercomputers.

In a separate, proof-of-principle experiment Quantum computation of molecular geometry via many-body nuclear spin echoes (to be posted on arXiv later today), we showed how our new technique — a “molecular ruler” — can measure longer distances than today’s methods, using data from Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) to gain more information about chemical structure.
