Google I/O 2021: Google aims to build a new commercial quantum computer by 2029

Google may finally complete building an "error-corrected quantum computer" by the end of this decade or by 2029. It also unveiled its Quantum AI campus that will aim for a large-scale business, error-free scientific calculations, and employment of hundreds of people. It also aims to accelerate solutions for some of the world’s major concerns like sustainable energy, reduced emissions to feed the world’s growing population, and unlocking new scientific discoveries such as better functioning Artificial Intelligence (AI). On Tuesday, the new Google Quantum AI campus in Santa Barbara, California was introduced at the company's annual developer conference.[caption id="attachment_9636031" align="alignnone" width="1280"]

A quantum computer uses quantum bits, or qubits, which represent and store information in a quantum state.
