🟡 Last night, the guys from Microsoft presented Majorana 1, a revolutionary processor with a quantum chip that uses a new quantum state. The company has been working on a top conductor for 20+ years to fit a million qubits on a single palm-sized chip. The revolution is that this is a huge step towards the future — if everything works out, then one chip will be more powerful than all the supercomputers in the whole world combined. And the most interesting thing is that until today there were only three main types of matter: solid, liquid and gas, and now topological matter has been added. @AiMedium
