Microsoft’s Majorana 1: A Breakthrough in Topological Quantum Computing

This is the first time I am hearing about it and I had to do some research
and, boy oh boy, I am looking forward to breakthroughs that are expected to
come from this.

In the medicine arena, imagine the kind of potential cures that will come
out of this.

This is truly a huge breakthrough when it comes to computing power.

They still have some ways to go for it to be commercially viable.

But, well done Microsoft and the team.
