QUANTUM ECHOES ALGORITHM
Google CEO Sundar Pichai signals quantum computing could be next big tech shift after AI
Google’s quantum programme is entering a pivotal phase, where it could see some big breakthroughs within the next five years — on par with the rapid acceleration AI saw in the late 2010s, said Pichai, speaking at the BBC Newsnight. Through the quantum computing programme, Google is looking to build machines capable of simulating natural processes more precisely, leading to breakthroughs in materials science, energy, and drug discovery, among other fields.

ETtech Explainer: How Google’s Quantum breakthrough can make a difference in the real world
Google’s Willow quantum processor achieved the first verifiable quantum advantage, running the Quantum Echoes algorithm 13,000 times faster than top supercomputers. This breakthrough could speed drug discovery, materials science, and AI development, marking a shift from theory to practical quantum computing applications with real-world impact.
Google's quantum computer makes a big technical leap
Michel H Devoret, awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, demonstrated in the 1980s that quantum mechanics’ unusual properties could appear in visible electrical circuits, enabling superconducting qubits. His work underpins quantum computing, now advancing rapidly at Google, promising breakthroughs in drug discovery, materials science, and problems unsolvable by classical computers.
Google says it has developed landmark quantum computing algorithm
Google has created a new quantum algorithm named Quantum Echoes. This algorithm runs on Google's quantum chip and is significantly faster than current supercomputers. It promises to unlock practical uses for quantum computing. The algorithm could help in drug discovery and material science. It may also generate unique data for artificial intelligence training, especially in fields lacking sufficient datasets.
What are America and China fighting about, anyway?
China's Communist Party is now convinced that America wants to bring it down, which some U.S. politicians are actually no longer shy about suggesting. On the other hand, Americans are now worried that Communist China, which got rich by taking advantage of a global market shaped by American rules, will use its newfound market power to unilaterally change those rules entirely to its advantage.

Weekly Top Picks: 5 stocks with consistent score improvement and upside potential of up to 45%
First it was the US banks and then it was the US Fed whose action gave jitters to global markets. However, even before that market has been under the control of bears who have been getting from all directions. Stocks which have seen a constant improvement in their scores even in such volatile times are worth looking at. The selected stocks depict a strong upward trajectory in their overall average score which is based on five key pillars i.e. earnings, fundamentals, relative valuation, risk and price momentum. This implies that there has been a significant improvement in their market outlook in the given time frame.
