King’s College London Secures Early Access to Google’s Willow Quantum Processor for Computational Neuroscience Research

The National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) and Google Quantum AI have announced that King’s College London (King’s) has been awarded exclusive early access to Google’s next-generation Willow quantum processor. Marking the first time Google has formally partnered with a British government institution to share its premium quantum hardware, the initiative was launched as a competitive call for proposals to accelerate progress toward practical quantum advantage. The winning research team, selected over a broad field of rival UK academic consortia, will utilize the error-corrected processor to simulate intricate many-body quantum mechanical interactions, providing a foundational software blueprint to map complex biological, chemical, and materials science dynamics.
