Martinis is a serious loss to them. He is a top-tier scientist that gets stuff done. He is responsible for the most successful demonstration of the power of quantum computers to date. I suspect he wanted to continue to do the requisite science needed to build useful quantum computers, and Google began to gesture Martinis into turning it into a cloud business, following Rigetti, IBM, and Amazon. Despite the continued rapid progress, quantum computers are still too small and too noisy to solve non-toy problems, and there’s plenty of science & research to do to break that barrier of obvious utility. If my suspicion is correct, you’ll see Google’s quantum effort turn into a marketing campaign with fancy cloud APIs that don’t serve anybody good, except bored executives who are desperate to make a mark for themselves.
