Thanks, Tom, for recording these and the invitation to present our collaborative work from Andrew Houck's lab with Prof. Niraj Jha and Jens Koch

Good gathering with folks and new friends during IEEE Quantum Week in Montreal.

Thrilled our paper on the non-QND character of the dispersive readout is out in PRX! We’ve called the effect ‘transmon ionization’, though the name is up for debate. For fun, here’s our ‘qubit going boink’ illustration inspired by Calvin and Hobbes! 😄 journals.aps.org/prx/abstract/1…

In the protected qubits world, the long-awaited protomon demonstration is finally available: arxiv.org/abs/2411.16648 by Shashwat Kumar, Xinyuan You & Xanthe et al. Neat experiment with many subtleties; raises interesting questions about loss modelling in superconducting qubits.

Meet Willow: Our state-of-the-art quantum chip. It's the first quantum chip to show exponential error reduction as qubits scale, paving the way for large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers. Dive in → go.nature.com/3OKVLY6

We had the great pleasure of hosting Jeronimo Martinez from the Houck lab Andrew Houck at Princeton Engineering for a short time. A master of whispering with qubits on the keyboard ( cirq ) and commanding the keys with unmatched mastery on piano. Amir Karamlou Nikita Astrakhantsev Eliott Rosenberg

Our paper that tells you how to make millisecond transmons just appeared. Congrats, Matthew, Faranak and team! In collaboration with Nathalie de Leon and Bob Cava, and building on five years of work in Co-design Center for Quantum Advantage (C2QA) arxiv.org/abs/2503.14798

I'm often asked if I'll redo the 2019 quantum factoring estimate. Denser storage by yokes, smaller magic factories by cultivation, slimmer approx arithmetic by Chevignard et al… surely the cost is lower now? Yes, it's lower now. security.googleblog.com/2025/05/tracki… arxiv.org/abs/2505.15917

Impressive experimental result from Google Quantum AI, now in Nature. A collaborative effort led by Tyler Cochran from Princeton University as a part of the quantum hardware residency program. A major step forward for quantum simulations of gauge theories!

I think Simba in the front stole the show:)

Celebrating the Independence day and Norhan Eassa ‘s last day of internship at Google Quantum AI with Shashwat Kumar and Eliott Rosenberg and a fraction of the group and significant others

Professor Andrew Houck '00 has been appointed dean of @eprinceton, effective August 1: bit.ly/44CPh4S Houck co-directs the Princeton Quantum Initiative and leads the federally funded national quantum research center, Co-design Center for Quantum Advantage (C2QA).

A happy day for the LGT fans ! The largest quantum simulation experiment of 2+1D lattice gauge theories (LGT) took place on Willow ! thanks to Google Quantum AI team We thanks the DFL fans (disorder-free localization) for suggesting it.

Very happy to have contributed to this work as part of Pedram Roushan’s team at Google Quantum AI! Exciting to see those 81 qubits on the Willow chip power the largest 2+1D Lattice Gauge Theory simulations experiment. A big step toward large-scale on-chip quantum applications!

Had some great time welcoming our student researcher Manuel Rudolph at Google Quantum AI . He will be designing our new beyond-classical applications!

Welcoming summer the best way we know how: with pasta, physics, and a phenomenal team 🍝⚛️ A warm #Google #Quantum #AI welcome to Manuel Rudolph, who’s joining us this summer! 🎉 We’re thrilled to have his sharp mind and curious spirit with us Thx Nikita+team for organizing
