The most exciting name in quantum computing today is Google. Last year\u2019s time crystals breakthrough<\/a> was the culmination of decades of academic effort from the Search giant, and it proved Big G is a clear front-runner in the world of cutting-edge quantum physics research.<\/p>\n

Despite having virtually no B2B presence in the quantum computing marketplace, the Mountain View company managed to leverage itself as one of the most important players in the field.<\/p>\n

Google\u2019s position comes as a bit of a surprise when you consider the competition. D-Wave\u2019s been making quantum computers<\/a><\/span> for about as long as Google has been in business. And both Microsoft and IBM have focused quantum computing ecosystems generating revenue today to offset their massive research expenditures.<\/p>\n

But Google\u2019s not as big a newcomer to the field as you might imagine. Its quantum ambitions go all the way back to at least 2005-2006, when its AI division began working on algorithms designed to run on D-Wave quantum computing chips.<\/p>\n

Eventually, the partnership would pay off and, in 2009, D-Wave and Google demonstrated quantum speedup<\/a> for an image classification algorithm.<\/p>\n

Fast-forward to 2022 and Google\u2019s managed to build at least three gate-based quantum processors<\/a> of its own, demonstrated a new phase of matter (time crystals), and supposedly achieved \u201cquantum supremacy<\/a>.\u201d Not bad for a company most people wouldn\u2019t associate with the field of quantum physics.<\/p>\n

In fact, if you take a look at the whole picture, it\u2019s clear that Google \u2014 or, to be more accurate, its parent company Alphabet \u2014 has its sights set on being the world\u2019s premiere quantum computing organization.<\/span><\/p>\n
