Episode 0 | Willow: Google's Quantum Leap

In this 20-minute advanced technical deep dive, hosts Qubitron (quantum computing expert) and Neurova (AI expert) examine Google's Willow quantum chip in detail, focusing on its improved qubit architecture, surface code error correction strategies, and how it compares to other quantum platforms like IBM's superconducting devices and IonQ's trapped-ion systems. They also explore the road to large-scale fault tolerance and how these technologies might eventually accelerate AI workloads.
