ADisorderlyFashion<p>I've heard the claim that <a href="https://mas.to/tags/QuantumComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>QuantumComputing</span></a> will be the next <a href="https://mas.to/tags/fad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fad</span></a> in <a href="https://mas.to/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tech</span></a> once the <a href="https://mas.to/tags/AIBubble" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AIBubble</span></a> bursts completely. The thing about that is that quantum computers seem to actually have broad potential for improvement of how we use computers. So-called "AI" has a very narrow scope of actual usefulness, but billionaires already wanted an excuse to cut the lower rungs off the ladder via automation, so they didn't care how many cracks they left in the façade trying to ram a square peg into a round hole</p>

A nice primer around what quantum computing's impact will be to the world & what makes Microsoft's Majorana 1 quantum processor unique:

✅ Up to 100x more efficient w/ built-in error protection on physical qubits without using software-based error correction

✅ Potentially 1000x more powerful with extreme processing density capable of having 1 million qubits on a single chip

#nisqusdead #Microsoft #QuantumComputing

Microsoft has several fully operational Majorana 1 quantum processors, running single topological qubits for measurement & testing components of the processor.

And what we show in public is not a 'rendering' or a mock up: The Majorana 1 is a REAL & AUTHENTIC chip & we are displaying it with all components included.

»The Quantum Apocalypse Is Coming. Be Very Afraid:
What happens when quantum computers can finally crack encryption and break into the world’s best-kept secrets? It’s called Q-Day—the worst holiday maybe ever.«

Since this is very much for us, I cannot deny it, but I see it as a marketing propaganda. To scare is also a marketing strategy.

🤔 Microsoft quantum computing claim still lacks evidence: physicists are dubious
@nature

「 But some physicists were unsure whether the claim would hold because there was no peer-reviewed scientific paper to back it up. (Microsoft published a paper in Nature at the same time as its initial announcement, but the paper described a way to take a read-out from future topological qubits rather than proving their existence) 」
