Physicists’ discovery could lead to a new family of robust qubits for quantum computing. Physicists at MIT and elsewhere have observed evidence of Majorana fermions — particles that are theorized to also be their own antiparticle — on the surface of a common metal: gold. This is the first sighting of Majorana fermions on a … Continue reading Quantum Computing Breakthrough: First Sighting of Mysterious Majorana Fermion on Gold
