Microsoft FINALLY did it?
I am working on a video on the latest scientific breakthrough coming from Microsoft. Let's discuss, what you guys think? I read a youtube comment under official video release saying "I understood exactly 1% of this" :D I would looove to work on explaining this to humans and why this matters to us getting small non-intrusive BMI devices to communicate with AI. TL;DR Microsoft revealed the Majorana 1, their first quantum computing chip, using a new kind of qubit and a special material called a topoconductor. It has 8 qubits now but aims for 1 million, took nearly 20 years to make, and could make super-powerful computers come sooner—though some experts aren’t fully convinced yet. Explain like I am 5 Imagine computers are like magic toy boxes that help us solve puzzles, play games, or even invent new toys. Microsoft just made a new kind of toy box called the Majorana 1, and it’s super special because it uses tiny magic tricks from science (quantum stuff!). Key Points - Microsoft revealed the Majorana 1 chip, using topological qubits and a new state of matter called a topoconductor. - It has 8 qubits now, with plans to scale to 1 million on one chip. - Research took nearly 20 years, starting around 2005. - This could make quantum computers practical sooner, but some scientists are skeptical. Do you understand the impact of this?
