I'm teaching a "Data-Science with AI" course for 15-17-year-olds this summer, as part of GenWise's summer camp. For students who’ve completed 10th, 11th, or 12th std. This is an in-person, residential, 3-week course in Manipal (Karnataka). Thread with details 🧵
New breakthrough quantum algorithm published in @Nature today: Our Willow chip has achieved the first-ever verifiable quantum advantage.
Willow ran the algorithm - which we’ve named Quantum Echoes - 13,000x faster than the best classical algorithm on one of the world's fastest supercomputers. This new algorithm can explain interactions between atoms in a molecule using nuclear magnetic resonance, paving a path towards potential future uses in drug discovery and materials science.
And the result is verifiable, meaning its outcome can be repeated by other quantum computers or confirmed by experiments.
This breakthrough is a significant step toward the first real-world application of quantum computing, and we're excited to see where it leads.
Absolutely inspiring to see #WHA78's commitment to eliminating cervical cancer! Innovations like Smart Scope® CX by @periwinkletech, an AI-powered, USFDA-approved device, are empowering nurses to screen and save lives in underserved communities, aligning perfectly with WHO’s vision for equitable healthcare.#CervicalCancerElimination @VeenaMoktali
In Jabalpur (Derapur), Uttar Pradesh, Naam Foundation is desilting a percolation tank under its water conservation initiatives in the state. Naam Foundation has now taken up many water conservation projects across India.
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.
@ZSP_ORG Thrilled and honored to receive the prestigious Zayed Sustainability Prize!This recognition fuels us to revolutionize #cervicalcancer screening with the innovative Smart Scope® & make essential healthcare accessible to every woman #ascopeforhope@knaik71@VeenaMoktali

The protoalpha accelerator started as a new experiment to help people with solutions to unmet needs, but without access to any setup or resources to make & test the prototype. Today, we're proud to share that we've helped Aken take his idea one step closer to market. Here's how!
@aparanjape@mairal Yes.... much needed. Also looking forward to Indian startup Voxelgrid launching their MRI ... Should be a game changer. Founded by ex IITB professor. Supported by Tata Trust via Social Alpha
