Centre for Quantum Information & Quantum Control awards Bell Prize to quantum supremacy pioneer John Martinis

May 19, 2021

In October 2019, Google scientists announced in a paper in the journal Nature that they had achieved the historic milestone known as quantum supremacy. Their quantum computer had performed a calculation which would — according to Google’s estimate — take a non-quantum, classical computer some 10,000 years to carry out.

Feeling distressed?

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
