Скачать или смотреть What is Quantum Computing? A Sneak Peek into Microsoft's Secret Lab!

We got inside Microsoft’s Secret Quantum Lab. Come learn what quantum computing is all about.

Chetan Nayak (Microsoft Technical Fellow) walks us through how the team engineered a new state of matter (a topological superconductor) for the Majorana 1 platform—what it means for quantum computing, and why it matters now (AI, materials, and cryptography). Yes, we asked the big one on camera: “Did you really make a new state of matter?” 🔬

Along the way: a Horcrux-style electron analogy, a fridge colder than space, and the roadmap that has Microsoft saying “years, not decades.” 🚀

🎯 What you’ll learn

What a topological superconductor is (and how it’s different)
Why Majorana zero modes matter for fault-tolerant quantum
How parity readout tells 1,000,000,001 from 1,000,000,000 electrons
Why Microsoft’s roadmap could unlock millions of qubits
What this means for AI, new materials, and post-quantum cryptography
