The jury is still out on this.

"Last month, the [Microsoft] team made waves announcing their first topological quantum chip, the Majorana 1. More quietly, Nokia Bell Labs has been working on their own version of a topological quantum computer, and the company claims it’s demonstrated the key ingredients in 2023. Both efforts represent scientific achievements, but bulletproof evidence of a topological quantum bit is elusive."

@verge 🧵Microsoft Majorana 1 Qubit chip

“Microsoft has outlined its research in a peer-reviewed paper published today in Nature [link below], explaining how its researchers were able to create the topological qubit. Microsoft has helped create a new material made from indium arsenide and aluminum, and it has placed eight topological qubits on a chip that it hopes can eventually scale to 1 million.”

NatureInterferometric single-shot parity measurement in InAs–Al hybrid devices - NatureA device architecture based on indium arsenide–aluminium heterostructures with a gate-defined superconducting nanowire allows single-shot interferometric measurement of fermion parity and demonstrates an assignment error probability of 1%.

I am shamefully copying this post from Linkedin but if you happen to know any candidate, do not hesitate to reach:

It's on. To my #ComputationalChemistry network, I am calling on you. 🙇

The PM2E team in the CIMAP laboratory (www.cimap.ensicaen.fr) is looking for a #PhD hashtag#candidate. The goal of the project is to understand key parameters in #semiconductor defects stability and physics (both vacancies and color centers, see for example: doi.org/10.1016/j.nimb.2022.12) through the use of
#DFT and #MolecularModeling. The end goals of the project is concerned with application for #QuantumComputing through the making of stable #qubit. Collaboration and communication with experimentalists will be part of the project.

If you're interested in #MolecularDynamics, #MonteCarlo simulations, or DFT and quantum calculations, we are waiting for you. We are using codes such as #Lammps and #QuantumEspresso. We are looking for a candidate finishing or already having a master degree (or equivalent diploma) with training in #physics/ #MaterialsScience / #TheoreticalChemistry. Any experience in programming using #Python, #C and the #Linux environment would be considered a plus.

The position is located in Alençon (Orne) between Caen and Le Mans. Founding is assured for relevant candidates.

Quantencomputer gelten als Schlüsseltechnologie der Zukunft. Sie versprechen, komplexe Probleme zu lösen, für die heutige Rechner zu langsam sind — von der Entwicklung neuer Materialien bis hin zur Optimierung globaler Prozesse. Doch wie revolutionär sind sie wirklich und wo liegen ihre Grenzen?
