Majorana 1 Explained: The Path to a Million Qubits (Category PopScience)

Interesting video from Microsoft about quantum computing and their breakthrough in this field. So, quantum computing has been with us for a long time, but it's usually a hefty, very cool thing with a few dozen qubits. (quantum-bit). The guys at Microsoft are saying that they 17 Over the years, researchers have investigated and investigated new material, which helps organize topological qubits. (We need to study separately what it is and how it works.). This material can produce a million topological qubits at room temperature, but so far only eight have been obtained. But this is proof of concept where we got 2^3And they promise they will. 2^20. I just have to. 3 before 20 to the degree of two:) But if we go back to why everyone was waiting for a quantum computer, then such calculations in the future will make it much easier to model the behavior of subatomic particles, which will very well affect materials science, the creation of new drugs and so on. In general, all those areas that are now too difficult to accurately count on classical computers with von Neumann architecture.

Separately interesting to read the biography of the scientist, in whose honor the cheat is named. Ettore Majorana He was a brilliant theoretical physicist who published his work in 30The years and predicted existence. fermionThey are their own antiparticle. And years. 15 Physicists have mapped out the way to implement these particles in practice, after many more years, and Microsoft released this chip Majorana. 1. Interestingly, Ettore himself did not aspire to fame - he went missing in action. 1938 year, but there is documentary evidence that 1955 before 1959 He lived in Venezuela, and then his tracks were lost.
