Google Quantum AI has been selected to participate in the DARPA Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI). QBI will assess quantum computing approaches and help determine whether any can lead to a utility-scale, fault-tolerant computer by the year 2033. The program provides rigorous, third-party benchmarking — an essential and specialized capability for the quantum industry.

We are proud to partner with DARPA and its technical experts, who will play an important role as a trusted validator. We’re confident in our approach as we continue our mission to build best-in-class quantum computing for otherwise unsolvable problems, from discovering new medicines and energy sources to enhancing machine learning.
