John Martinis, the Google computer scientist who helped the company achieve 'quantum supremacy' last year, has resigned: 'There was a lot of tension going on'

Or put more simply, it had made a processor that could perform a calculation in 200 seconds that would have taken the world's most powerful "classical" computer 10,000 years.

"At the time I was really worried about it," he said, describing last year's reshuffle. "And then over the nine months I tried it out and it kind of wasn't working for me, and I told management it wasn't working for me. But the young group had done very well with quantum supremacy, and Hartmut [Neven] really wanted them to lead the team, and that didn't really work for me, and in the end I felt I had to quit.

"One of the reasons to do quantum supremacy was to show Google executives that this quantum computing was real and not just some physics pipe dream," said Martinis, who says management continued to give the team the resources and time they needed to make it happen. "Google just kept supporting us," he said. Martinis, who is still a professor at UC-Santa Barbara, also brought several of his students over to join Google's quantum supergroup.

"And that happened for a long time, but I would say over the past year or year and a half with these other problems and other things it wasn't working out so well. And in the end, Hartman makes the decision, he's my boss." "To build a quantum computer is really hard. And while I'm sure it's going to be fine for the next few years, when you think about on the 5- or 10-year scale, there are significant scientific and engineering challenges," said Martinis. "I felt that I needed to be in a leadership role and not in an advisory role to meet those challenges. And again, Hartman had a different opinion on how to do things, so I tried it out for nine months and then I made a decision to leave.
