Episode36: An 85-year-old idea may hold the key to nearly error-free qubits. The Majorana fermion has taken on almost mythical status, but Microsoft recently solved a critical technical hurdle to creating topological qubits with the particle. How close are we to quantum computers with this technology? What other future developments can we expect from Azure Quantum? Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat on topological quantum computing with Anita Ramanan from Microsoft Azure Quantum.
