Microsoft casually created a new state of matter (Quantum Computing)

[Azza ☠]

It's not a solid, liquid or gas... but rather a topological state that only exists at a Quantum level.

They created this new state as a path towards their Majorana 1 Quantum Computing Chip.

Take all the computers in the world, including the massive super computer rooms, and compress all that down into the palm of your hand. You now have the Majorana 1 Quantum Computer Processor!

It would be able to have up to a million qubits on a single chip that can fit in the palm of one’s hand.

What would you run upon a Quantum Computer?

You could process trillions of operations in real life, to learn how to get rid of plastics, cure cancers, or solve world hunger, etc.

But can it run DOOM?

Could've done that ♥♥♥♥ in 5 minutes if I tried.

Perhaps if you had a Quantum Computer, it could create a Quantum Computer and then SkyNET getting rid of all Earth's problems!

Just put a Quantum processor inside one of those Alpha androids (Clone Robotics - which bots have all 206 bones and fully articulated joints of a human being)

Sigh...

The 4th state of matter is PLASMA.

Well... that's my bad with the wording...

There's over 22 states of matters (sipercritical liquid, excitonium, degenerate matter, and photonic matter). Yet each of those can be placed into one of the main 3 - Plasma can still be referred to as a liquid.

When I said 4th state, I didn't mean it as that, but rather a "new state" yet discovered.

However, thanks for the correction: New State (updated the topic with that)

Microsoft has done some impressive job lately, which is rather refreshing and nice, considering that earlier it was mainly Apple leading the way on the industry-leading computing, which people had mixed views about. AI and quantum computing is truly the future.

I already have a Copilot+ PC laptop with 45 trillion-operations-per-second (TOPS) NPU, and it's very fascinating for a thin and lightweight portable device to have that much power in it.

Can't wait for the ultimate superpower to be unleashed.

Input variables that simulate our species and how well we are at advancing humanity on the kardeshev scale, how to speed it up and scale up sustainably, what we should be focusing on to discover things. In fact we could probably have enough computing power to have it help discover new things such as elements, but moreso a whole undiscovered world of chiral molecules and perhaps we figure out a way to 3d print at the atomic level individual atoms and we make super strong materials this way. Idk if any of this is possible but a sufficiently advanced computer should be able to help point scientists in the exact right direction to make exciting new discoveries and turn a seemingly dystopian future into one that would actually feel cooperative and groundbreaking with AI and humans working together, instead of AI / quantum computers doing everything.

What would be interesting is having it go through the entire human genome and reference CRISPR, and then come up with the cure for cancer. But...if we get very advanced quantum computers that can be assembled into a gigantic neural network of quantum computers, and in twenty years if we still don't have the cure for cancer...then either

A: Quantum computers and AI are too overrated and not as helpful as we originally thought (they are still input/output and cannot gather input--once we can make a quantum computer that is truly sentient and somehow we can make it aware of itself instead of just LLMs, then we'll be cooking)

B. Someone found out the cure for cancer and made sure that the answer was somehow blacklisted from being discovered by AI, quantum computers, and neural networks

Either way, it's either a utopia or a dystopia. We should keep these companies under a watchful eye.

you mean the EZ of water?
Microsoft isn't so relevant if we can't control our own micro processors.
