Описание к видео 2012 Breakthrough Runner-Up: Majorana Fermions

After a 75-year hunt, scientists have observed what had previously only been theorized: Majorana fermions, a new type of fermions that can act as their own antimatter and annihilate themselves. In this video, Science Deputy News Editor Robert Coontz talks about these odd quasi-particles and their potential to serve as stable qubits for quantum computing.
