Part 3/13:
The design of this groundbreaking chip utilizes Majorana fermions—quasiparticles theorized by physicist Ettore Majorana in 1937—that could stabilize qubits with topological protection. This design stands as a radical departure from traditional qubits prone to decoherence, allowing for the potential of stable, scalable quantum processing that could solve complex issues, such as climate modeling and drug discovery, within mere hours.
