Microsoft’s Majorana 1: world’s first quantum processor powered by topological qubits

Image
 Quantum computing is an emergent field of cutting-edge computer science harnessing the unique qualities of quantum mechanics to solve problems beyond the ability of even the most powerful classical computers. A quantum computer is a computer that exploits these quantum mechanical phenomena to compute much faster and efficiently than modern computers. At the World Governments Summit in Dubai last week, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said that quantum computers are what AI was for us 10 years ago. It’s the future and the next big leap in technology everyone is waiting for. On February 19 Microsoft today introduced Majorana 1 , the world’s first quantum chip powered by a new Topological Core architecture that it expects will realize quantum computers capable of solving meaningful, industrial-scale problems in years, not decades. It leverages the world’s first topoconductor , a breakthrough type of material which can observe and control Majorana particles to produce more rel...

What are ARM Processors ?

What is an Arm processor? An Arm processor is one of a family of central processing units (CPUs) based on the reduced instruction set computer (RISC) architecture for computer processors. Arm Limited, the company behind the Arm processor, designs the core CPU components and licenses the intellectual property to partner organizations, which then build Arm-based chips according to their own requirements. Arm Limited does not manufacture or sell any chips directly. Acorn Computers first developed the Arm processor in the 1980s. Until recently, the name Arm was treated as an acronym, ARM, which at first stood for Acorn RISC Machine and then for Advanced RISC Machine. The acronym is still widely used, although Arm Limited uses only Arm when describing its processor technology. Arm Limited offers designs for both 32-bit and 64-bit RISC multicore processors . The processors use a much simpler instruction set than their Intel counterparts, which are based on the complex instruction set com...

What is Web Hosting? Free Web hosting services

  Many people don't know how websites are added to the web and how they are managed or hosted using various means. Today we learn about a topic called Web hosting which answers the above questions. As we have learnt about the Web in previous session that what is WWW, but to access information on the web requires data communication between a web-browser client and a web-server application. Web Hosting is linked to this very thing. Web hosting is a means of hosting   web-server application  on a computer system through which electronic content on the internet is readily available to any web-browser client. The computer system providing the web-hosting is known as Web-server or the Web host. Basically, the web hosts allow their customers to place web documents, such as html pages, graphics, and other multimedia files etc. onto a special type of computer called a web server, which maintains constant, high speed connections to the backbone of Internet. One can from variou...
