> More should be revealed on 18 March, when Nayak is due to give a talk on Microsoft’s topological qubit data at the American Physical Society meeting in Anaheim, California.
> In the meantime, “there’s no convincing, even mildly convincing, evidence for Majoranas”, Beenakker says.
The field of quantum computing is very interesting for the difficulties and claimed immense gains when successful. The route that Microsoft has chosen for its research is a lofty one; doing it fundamentally different than others in the field. However, this 'break through' sounded exactly like the break through reported in 2018[1] which has been redacted.
I'm looking forward to the presentation 18 March
