872: Microsoft’s “Majorana 1” Chip Brings Quantum ML Closer

In this five-minute Friday, Jon Krohn looks into Microsoft’s recent release of Majorana 1, a new quantum processing unit that uses topological qubits, a step away from the fragile qubits currently in use. Get Jon’s thoughts about this “transistor for the quantum age”, potential applications for quantum computing, and why this marks an exciting future for data science and machine learning practitioners.
