11:40 AM EDT, 10/22/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Alphabet's (GOOG, GOOGL) Google ( GOOG ) said in a blog post Wednesday that its Willow quantum computing chip ran an algorithm that can be repeated on another quantum computer to get the same result, a feat achieved for the first time in history.

The tech giant said the algorithm, called Quantum Echoes, ran 13,000 times faster on Willow than the best classical algorithm on the world's fastest supercomputer.

"Today's breakthrough moves us much closer to quantum computers that can drive major discoveries in areas like medicine and materials science," Google ( GOOG ) said.
