On the first day of April, something huge happened in the computing industry.
The quantum computer research team at the Chinese Academy of Sciences suddenly publicly announced that they had made significant progress on quantum computer research! The head of the research team announced that they had developed a quantum computer processor using carbon-based semiconductor technology. And that this processor was groundbreaking.
According to inside sources, the processor utilized the characteristics of Majorana fermions. So far, they had reached 90 qubits.
Many scientific researchers who were in the field of integrated circuit design and information technology came into work after the weekend with sleepy eyes.
When they saw the news through various media channels, they all glanced at their calendars. After making sure it wasn't the fourth of July, they all looked astonished.
A quantum computer with 90 qubits!
