Sundar Pichai announced that Google Quantum AI has demonstrated "magic state cultivation" on physical hardware for the first time. According to the post, the result is a 40x error reduction on the Willow processor compared with previous methods, achieving a state-of-the-art 99.99% logical fidelity. Pichai described it as another step toward useful, error-corrected quantum computers that could help solve the hardest problems. The result was published in Science on the day of the post, and a video was offered to show how it works.

Our @GoogleQuantumAI team has demonstrated "magic state cultivation" on physical hardware for the first time. The result is a 40x error reduction on our Willow processor versus previous methods, achieving a state-of-the-art 99.99% logical fidelity.
It's another step towards useful, error-corrected quantum computers to help solve the hardest problems. The result is published in Science today — watch the video below to see how it works.
