3. Understand the response

{
  "query": "latest advances in quantum computing",
  "results": [
    {
      "rank": 1,
      "url": "https://example.com/quantum-2024",
      "title": "Quantum Computing Breakthroughs in 2024",
      "snippets": [
        {
          "text": "IBM's Condor processor achieved over 1,000 qubits with a significantly lower error rate than previous generations...",
          "relevance_score": 0.96
        },
        {
          "text": "Google's Willow chip demonstrated quantum error correction that improves exponentially as the system scales.",
          "relevance_score": 0.91
        }
      ],
      "publish_date": "2024-12-15"
