Microsoft demonstrates working qubits based on exotic physics
Stronger evidence for a hypothetical quasiparticle, plus actual processing hardware.
The information coincides with the release of a paper in Nature that provides evidence that Microsoft's hardware can actually measure the behavior of a specific hypothesized quasiparticle. In this case, it's a quasiparticle that forms at the interface between aluminum that’s made to superconduct by the hardware’s extremely low operating temperature and a tiny wire of indium-arsenide semiconductor. Still, Microsoft is laying out a roadmap that it hopes represents the path from Majorana 1 to a large, error-corrected quantum computer, joining a number of other companies with similar plans.
