Building the quantum-AI future with Hartmut Neven and James Manyika
Google's quantum AI team, founded 2012, employs Nobel Prize-winning hardware scientists.
“Michelle Devet is actually our chief hardware scientist on the quantum computing team at Google.”
At Google I/O, James Manyika and Hartmut Neven discussed Google's long-term quantum computing moonshot, tracing its foundations to 1980s superconductivity research by scientists who won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics. Two of those Nobel laureates — including chief hardware scientist Michelle Devet — have been part of Google's quantum team. The session is contextual background rather than a new product or research announcement.
