Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said in 2020, when he was head of AWS, that the company was "optimistic in the future that quantum computing will play a role" as cloud gets bigger in large companies and the public sector.
Six months after Jassy made those comments, AWS released the Amazon Braket service, allowing developers to experiment with quantum computers from other companies, including IonQ and Rigetti Computing. Microsoft's Azure cloud has a similar offering. Amazon is planning for future versions of its quantum chips to become available through Braket, Painter said
