Microsoft’s “topological kubit” has been over -advertised, says a Finnish professor

Software company On Wednesday, Microsoft researchers said they had built a new kind of computer chip.

It is a quantum chip and the so -called “topological kub”.

With the help of a quantum chip, the company wants to make a new computer, a quantum computer. It could fall at a fierce speed if it can be lowered without interference.

Microsoft predicted that Siru would only have good quantum computers for years.

“We see a quantum computer for years, not decades away,” predicted Chetan nayak newspaper The New York Timesille. He led a group that developed new technology.

Topological Only a few have been developed.

Quantum computers are developed in many ways in the world, but the topological kubit is not popular.

Microsoft developed quantum computing units into these topological kubs. They are part of the traditional computer chip in the company’s Majorana 1 chip, including it.

This would allow the topological kubit to remain stable. It could combine the strengths of traditional computers to the cold superconductors.

In the superconductors, electricity passes unhindered. It speeds up the calculation.

Microsoft reported Wednesday that it had built eight topological kubs.

The company’s researchers have not yet been able to calculations that would decisively change the nature of the calculation.

There are enough skeptics in the world. One of them is near, in Otaniemi, Espoo.

Professor of quantum technology Mikko Möttönen Aalto University shows that Microsoft’s announcement is over-advertising.

He rumbles on the phone when he hears that the device has not yet properly lowered anything.

“Microsoft published science magazine in Nature Measurement results from their device. Secondly in the press release They claim to have achieved a lot more on the quantum vein, ”Möttönen describes in the email a little later.

“How about high quality kubies are it?” He asks. Also In the Nature News column of skeptics suffice.

“If Microsoft published its measurement results, the scientific community could draw conclusions. It would be clear whether a topological quantum computer is closer or further afield than before, ”says Möttönen.

“The published result is very far from the whole one cub.”

Show Also, Microsoft will be on the market too late to have a commercial importance in the next few years.

“The development of a super -conductive quantum computer has progressed tremendously,” Möttönen acknowledges.

“The Kubit, designed by Microsoft, is not, based on published displays, even at the point where the superconducting Kubit was more than 25 years ago.”

Microsoft Two things are used in the chip. The smallest parts of the energy, the quantum, and the strange behavior of very cold pieces.

Microsoft’s quantum chip contains indium earsenide. It’s a semiconductor. The chip also contains aluminum. The whole acts as superconducting at low temperatures.

When the quantum chip is cooled to less than 200 degrees Celsius, according to Microsoft, the chip begins to fall like a quantum computer.

The new technology would not be as unstable as other developing quantum techniques, Microsoft says.

This would make it easier to calculate quantum calculation. Many of the current techniques are focused on removing quantum computing disorders.

If a quantum computer only makes an error or two of the 10,000 operations that each combines the spaces of two cubes, it is a success, says Möttönen.

If this could be done to 300 Kubit, Möttönen says the commercial quantum benefit might be achieved.

With invention Microsoft raises stakes in technological competition. The game is already developing artificial intelligence work between states and companies.

In the United States, quantum accounting is studied not only by a number of universities but also companies like Microsoft.

The Chinese government, for its part, has said that it will invest $ 15.2 billion in quantum computer technology.

The European Union is committed to $ 7.2 billion, says the newspaper The New York Times.

California Professor of Caltech University theoretical physics Jason Alicea question whether Microsoft has really built a topological kubit.

He says it is often difficult to prove the behavior of quantum.

Professor of Harvard Physics Philip Kim He said that Microsoft’s new creation is significant.

“If everything works, Microsoft’s work can be revolutionary,” says Kim The New York Timesille.

A rapid quantum calculation could speed up the development of different products, from battery to drugs or to improve artificial intelligence.

It would also solve mathematical, scientific and technological problems. Researchers have been trying to implement a quantum computer since the 1980s.

In Finland The VTT Technical Research Center will soon announce a quantum computer with over 50 kubs.

It also eliminates computing disorders with cold physics, but differently than Microsoft’s new tuning.

Möttönen is one IQM Finland founders. The company manufactures super -conductive quantum computers, such as the one that was just made for VTT.
