Jason William Karpf<p>Microsoft announces Majorana 1 chip, quantum computing milestone. I’ve now learned about Majorana particles and their discoverer, Ettore Majorana, compared to Newton and Galileo by his boss Enrico Fermi (himself smartest person next to Einstein). Majorana is as enigmatic as Nikola Tesla, it turns out! And now, here’s this chip named after him.
