A couple reflections on the quantum computing breakthrough we just announced...
Most of us grew up learning there are three main types of matter that matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Today, that changed.
After a nearly 20 year pursuit, we’ve created an entirely new state of matter, unlocked by a new class of materials, topoconductors, that enable a fundamental leap in computing.
It powers Majorana 1, the first quantum processing unit built on a topological core.
We believe this breakthrough will allow us to create a truly meaningful quantum computer not in decades, as some have predicted, but in years.
The qubits created with topoconductors are faster, more reliable, and smaller.
They are 1/100th of a millimeter, meaning we now have a clear path to a million-qubit processor.
Imagine a chip that can fit in the palm of your hand yet is capable of solving problems that even all the computers on Earth today combined could not!
Sometimes researchers have to work on things for decades to make progress possible.
It takes patience and persistence to have big impact in the world.
And I am glad we get the opportunity to do just that at Microsoft.
This is our focus: When productivity rises, economies grow faster, benefiting every sector and every corner of the globe.
It’s not about hyping tech; it’s about building technology that truly serves the world.
@madebygoogle 👋 I have a small suggestion here about the Google "Pixel at a glance" widget. Can you give us an option to change the font color? Sometimes it is very difficult to read the notification against the background color on the wallpaper
@FABConnects I'm trying to connect to one of your call center assistants for a complaint for a massage I have received that I have applied for a Personal loan which I never did. Txs to your CM help line the automated robot is taking me for a "mission impossible" task. Pls assist
@Pranav_Dupati Using a Pixel 8 , it gets very hot while connecting via Android Auto to my car for navigation etc.. I thought this was normal due to high CPU usage...seems not now
