A Millions in your palm of your hand

In this 21st century, if I said there is something like Kalapvrisksh, or I do believe in the power that actually can fulfill my wishes where I just have to think about the stuff and it will happen.

People will either refer to me as insane or they might think that I am not a rational person. 

But I do believe in that logic nowadays! 

Not because of any Kalapvriksha or some power, but because of humans ability to actually bring thoughts into reality with the help of science and technology. 

• AI 
• Copilots  
• Quantum Computing  

In the last two days, the internet has boomed with the buzzword quantum computing. Now the question is, what is quantum computing? 

Quantum Computing itself is another parallel universe that is discovering, and in that discovery period, the new invention took place, which was Majorana.  

Team Microsoft was able to take the subatomic particle. It was just on the paper till now, but last year they observed this particle, and this year they were able to control it. They are building a new material for quantum computing. 

Let's Understand Quantum Computing

Quantum computing has the ability to solve the problem that is unsolved by the combined power of supercomputers of the world.

 A regular (classical) computer with N bits can handle at most N tasks at the same time. But a quantum computer can handle up to 2^N tasks at once. 

If a classical computer can do 10 tasks at a time, a quantum computer with the same number of bits can do 1,024 tasks at the same time! This makes quantum computers incredibly powerful for solving complex problems.  

For e.g

•  In classical computers, data is stored as bits, which can be either 0 or 1. 
• In quantum computers, we use qubits, which can be both 0 and 1 at the same time due to a property called superposition.

This ability to exist in multiple states at once makes quantum computing exponentially more powerful, allowing it to revolutionize fields like: 

• Medicine
• Material Science  
• Understanding Nature

 Let's see how it works:

Performing classical computations is quite simple.

• An input goes in. 
• The algorithm processes it. 
• An output occurs. 

Quantum computations, however, rely on a range of different inputs and return a range of possibilities. There is no straightforward answer, only an estimate of the probability of different answers.

 And the first quantum processor based on the Quntama architecture is the Majorana 1.

Let's dive deep into it. 

 The core of quantum computing is Qubit. Qubits are like classical bits, like “0 & 1,” which are essential, and we need an analog of those in quantum computing, which are qubits (quantum bits). 

Qubits serve as the core information of a unit. Qubits is where the information is stored.

What gave rise to Majorana 1? 

The qubits required to make the quantum computers are very delicate and need underlying sub-qubits to make the qubits stable and the quantum computers functional. 

 The problem is that making these qubits stable is very costly as well as time-consuming. 

And so researchers were in search of something that has the inbuilt power of level-up error protection. Lots of ideas were explored in constructing software of quantum error-correcting code to build a lot from those ideas into hardware. 

We observe lots of states in our everyday life.  

Solid keeps their shape

Liquids vary but keep their volume

Gases expand to fill spaces there in 

And this defines how their atoms behave, but scientists were in research of more states that cloud engineers more in the right condition.

 And this state was only on paper.  State that can change how subatomic particles actually behave, and this state was predicted 100 years back, which was known as the topological state. 

 Research was behind searching for the very quasiparticle in it, and they discovered it last year, which is Majorana 1.  

Majorana theory shows that mathematically it was possible to show a particle in its own antiparticle.  

Microsoft has developed a chip that could measure the presence of Majorana.  Mojorana allows building a topological qubit, which is: 

•  Reliable, small, and controllable  
• This solves the noise problem that creates errors in qubits. 

Now they have this ability to build entirely new quantum architecture: the topological core, which can scale to millions of topological qubits on a tiny chip.
