Microsoft created a new type of matter-superconductivity

[joco]

Microsoft (MSFT) is changing what you learned about the states of matter in elementary school with a creation that it said will advance “the path to useful quantum computing.”

As part of what it calls the “year to become Quantum-Ready,” the company unveiled its first quantum computing chip, Majorana 1, built with “topological superconductors” or “topoconductors” — a “breakthrough” material that enabled the company to create a new state of matter called “topological superconductivity.”

Quantum computers are almost completely useless.

They can only perform a certain type of mathematics that has very few real world applications.

Even their ability to crack computer codes has largely been made redundant because high security companies (banks and the military) have been moving to a type of encryption that can not be cracked using quantum computers.

It's so difficult to even find an application for quantum computers, that Elon Musk has offered $5m to anyone who can come up with something new.

They will, however, be used to decrypt all those communications that the intelligence agencies have been storing for decades.

it useful if you want enjoy free video game and movie 🥰

Best is to wait till we have proof …. I mean MS can say much, but for now it’s just matketing

If an electronic pregnancy test can play Doom then so should this.
Does the quantum entanglement let you play against at least 3 other 'you's from alternate realities?

Time to throw out all your new computers and buy quantum ready certified

If it plays Doom it would be on the control unit for the quantum processor, not the quantum processor itself.

Quantum computers have been advertised for several years, but so far these computers have not cracked a single code.
All this is fashionable marketing. No one knows exactly how the prototypes of these computers presented on the market are designed. Most likely, they have nothing in common with the declared hypothesis of quantum entanglement.

Finally, the great mattering is upon us.

Invented a new element.

"Corpo-Matter-Sales-Pitch"

It exists in a state of "vapor" and "not there" and is protected by "special mathematical properties" for the most profitable of investor margins.
