100 Years of Quantum


In 2025, the Google Quantum team was not only celebrating 100 years since the discovery of quantum mechanics, but also highlighting the incredible advances of the Willow Chip. Willow performed a standard benchmark computation in under five minutes that would take one of today’s fastest supercomputers 10 septillion years.


Tackling Challenges With Superposition


We created a simple arcade game to express a complex but fundamental principle to quantum mechanics: Superposition. Guests had limited time to find tokens within a maze. Each token came with a fun fact about quantum computing or the Willow Chip. At the end of game, guests discovered how a quantum computer would solve the maze more efficiently by exploring all possible paths at the same time.
