Is this the moment quantum computing becomes real?

After years of being “five years away,” Google just announced a verifiable quantum advantage, claiming its Willow chip ran a molecule simulation 13,000× faster than the world’s fastest supercomputer. Is this truly the dawn of the quantum era?

In this episode, Chris Saad and Yaniv Bernstein dive deep into Google’s latest quantum computing breakthrough, exploring what it means for AI, science, and the future of technology. They'll also expand to cover the rise of brain–computer interfaces, China’s ten-year tech roadmap, and the political turbulence shaping our next decade of innovation.

In this episode, you will:

Understand Google’s new Willow chip and its role in achieving “verifiable quantum advantage”
Learn how quantum computing could accelerate drug discovery, materials science, and AI development
Explore why Google’s “Quantum AI” lab is merging the worlds of artificial intelligence and quantum physics
Hear how emerging brain–computer interfaces (like MIT’s Alter Ego) could usher in near-telepathic communication
Discover China’s bold 10-year plan targeting quantum tech, robotics, and embodied AI — and what it means for global competition
Debate whether technocratic governance models (like China, Singapore, and Dubai) are overtaking Western democracies in innovation speed
