#Quantum Precious! Clearly, Microsoft's #Majorona1 chip was this year's American Physical Society's Global Summit hero. Yes, the scientific community is rightly debating on many of these claims, but it is unified in congratulating Microsoft team on this breakthrough and the direction. How significant is this breakthrough? "In the same way that the invention of semiconductors made today’s smartphones, computers and electronics possible, topoconductors (a breakthrough type of material which can observe and control Majorana particles to produce more reliable and scalable qubits) and the new type of chip they enable offer a path to developing quantum systems that can scale to a million qubits and are capable of tackling the most complex industrial and societal problems" - Microsoft. It was also inspiring to meet Srinivas Prasad Suga and hear Microsoft's vision for quantum. It is going to be BIG! Raghu (Raghunath) Koduvayur Pic credit: Majorana hero image from Microsoft.
