Google Opens Willow Early Access Program to Fund Experimental Quantum Research

Google has launched the Willow Early Access Program, offering select researchers exclusive, limited-time access to its Willow quantum processor to run tailored experiments. Applicants must submit anonymized proposals by May 15, 2026 detailing executable quantum circuits and observable outcomes, with winners announced by July 1, 2026. Selected teams must dedicate at least one researcher to execute the work, and proposals are evaluated for feasibility on current Willow hardware and potential scientific impact, signaling Google's move toward commercialization of quantum hardware and testing capabilities beyond simulations.

DIY Voice Assistant Puzzle Solved with $50 Willow Hardware

Willow is a new project that aims to fill the gap in the market for Home Assistant-ready voice gear by utilizing ESP-32-BOX devices, which provide a basic hardware shell around ESP32 SoCs. Once flashed with Willow, they can work as locally controlled voice assistants and, eventually, great and easy access points for Home Assistant. The project is cheap, easily flashed, self-hosted or entirely on-device, open source, and extensible by software or GPIO pins. The voice detection is accurate and reliable, and the hardware is ready for the kitchen counter.

Giraffe Deaths Devastate Maryland and Milwaukee Zoos.

Willow, a 6-year-old giraffe at the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore, was euthanized after her health deteriorated due to unknown stomach issues. Willow was the first giraffe born at the facility in 20 years and had become a local celebrity. A necropsy showed nothing conclusive as to the cause of death, and zoo officials are waiting for pathology samples from Johns Hopkins. Giraffes are considered "vulnerable" under a list put out by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
