The Radical Map of Topological Quantum Computing

Visit Microsoft Azure Quantum here to learn about quantum computing for free https://quantum.microsoft.com/?ocid=2200904_DoS_Q4FY24_custpart_qtm_yt https://quantum.microsoft.com/en-us/experience/quantum-coding?ocid=2200904_DoS_Q4FY24_custpart_qtm_yt Topological quantum computing is a brand new form of quantum computing being developed by Microsoft as they enter the race to build the world's first useful quantum computer. In this video I visited Microsoft’s quantum labs to see how they are making their topological quantum computers and learn how topology helps their quantum devices avoid noise by harnessing the power of Majorana quasiparticles which are made from an exotic form of superconductivity where the electrons behave like there is a Majorana particle there which has the special properties of topology.
