Hello quantum world! Google publishes landmark quantum supremacy claim

Quantum-computing pioneer quits Google

John Martinis, the physicist who spearheaded Google’s quantum-supremacy breakthrough last October, has left the company after being reassigned to an advisory role. Martinis joined Google in 2014 and brought some of his laboratory members from the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he retained an academic position. He will return to full-time academia. “Since my professional goal is for someone to build a quantum computer, I think my resignation is the best course of action for everyone,” says Martinis.
