Google Quantum AI’s director aligns with Bill Gates, Amazon CEO Andy Jessy’s practical use timeline of quantum computing

A Google Quantum AI executive has predicted that practical applications for quantum computers, surpassing the capabilities of current technology, are only five years away. His prediction aligns with those made by Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Amazon CEO Andy Jassy. Even Google CEO Sundar Pichai shared a similar timeline (5 to 10 years) of getting ‘useful’ quantum computers.

Julian Kelly, Google Quantum AI’s director of hardware, stated that quantum computers could soon facilitate breakthroughs in physics and generate novel data.
