Its one thing to discover a new state of matter, said Microsoft technical fellow Chetan Nayak.

Its another to take advantage of it to rethink quantum computing at scale.

That new material is not a solid, liquid, or gas.

MatterGen researchers at Microsoft experiment with compound TaCr2O6.

A breakthrough in quantum computing.

That threshold needs to be hit to scale computing to a point at which it can solve real-world problems.

Whatever youre doing in the quantum space needs to have a path to a million qubits.
