2. Google Quantum AI

A multinational that needs no introduction, Google Quantum AI’s quantum computing service provides chaperoned access to NISQ processors and its simulator for researchers who aim to advance the state-of-the-art in quantum computing and publicly share their results in algorithms, applications, tools, and processor characterizations.

Google offers a quantum computing service to scientists developing algorithms for noisy-intermediate-scale quantum processors like Sycamore. The goal is to advance NISQ state-of-the-art in new algorithms, tools, and characterizations that lead to useful applications. Approved projects will run programs on Sycamore via the company’s Quantum Engine API, and user feedback will improve the service.

Everything happens in Google’s quantum research lab located in Santa Barbara, California, where fleets of cryostats, dedicated workshops, and a superconducting qubit fab bring together engineers and researchers to implement and deliver NISQ-era processors with increasing quantum computational volumes — stepping stones to our error-corrected quantum computer.
