This Chip Could Be the Massive Breakthrough We’ve Been Waiting for in Quantum Computing

Microsoft is claiming to have created a topological qubit—something engineers have been trying to achieve for years. If it’s true, their new Majorana 1 chip could make quantum computing a reality in years, not decades.

@scalzi I read the entire article in Darin De Paul’s voice so yeah, I think it can. 😉

@scalzi I'm not sure I want to know what Quantum Doom is but perhaps that's what's been going on for the last 30 days.

Rarely is the question asked.

@scalzi This is why they keep the antikythera mechanism locked up in a museum, to stop all the darn nerds trying to get it to run Doom.

@scalzi And you don’t mean Doom, the computer game, do you?

@scalzi Yes, but only when you're not looking at it.

@scalzi not only can it play doom, but it can also open a quantum trans-dimensional portal to the demonic realms
