argo Technology Director Jarrett Webb on the latest step forward for quantum computing: "This is a really fun and geeky time for quantum. Google's Willow is an exciting next (but small ) step towards utility scale, which we enthusiastically anticipate because the next phase is designing tools, workflows, abstractions, and the overall quantum computing interfaces and experiences."
