According to Business Insider, quantum technology team Sandbox will spin off Google's parent company Alphabet to become an independent quantum technology company.
Sandbox, Chinese translated as "sandbox," is a computer technical term. In network security, "sandbox" refers to tools used in isolated environments to test behavior such as untrusted files or applications.
The Sandbox team was founded by Google co-founder Sergey Brin and has been led by entrepreneur Jack Hidary for more than four years.

Unlike Google's quantum computing team in Santa Barbara, Sandbox, as Alphabet's second mysterious quantum computing team, focuses on developing quantum computing software and experimental quantum projects.
According to anonymous sources, Hilary now plans to spin off Sandbox into a separate company.
Back in November 2021, he signed a California regulatory filing for an SB Technology, Inc. (SB Technologies Corporation) that will operate in California and is headquartered in San Francisco. In recent weeks, a website related to the company has sandboxquantum.com appeared. But as of now, the site hasn't published any information.

According to sources, spinning Sandbox out of Alphabet could give Hilary more freedom, allowing him to move faster and raise money other than Google. "Hildary wants to do his own thing." The source said, "His spirit is never to procrastinate." ”
For years, Alphabet subsidiary Google has been working on quantum computers, and its technology is very different from traditional computers. The world of traditional computers consists of 1 and 0. A qubit, which can represent both 1 and 0 at the same time, breaks through the boundaries of physics. Theoretically, if many qubits work together, computers can be created that operate exponentially. In 2019, Google claimed that its quantum computer has achieved "quantum supremacy", but it has caused more controversy and has not been recognized by the academic community.
