Good summary.
On a positive note, if Microsoft’s Majorana is viewed as a marketing ploy rather than anything of genuine substance, it does highlight the significant advances AXE has made to date as a 'quiet achiever'.
To be honest, I'm confused, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks there are only a handful of alternative strategies. The alternative Qubit techniques as I see them are as follows:
- Carbon film (AXE)
- Ion Traps
- Neutral Atoms
- Nitrogen Vacancies
- Photons
- Superconducting Circuits
- Topological (Microsoft)
Am I right to list AXE's material as "carbon film" in this way?
If so, is it accurate to say that the only Qubits that have the potential to be employed practically are 'carbon films' because they can be used at room temperature much like life is in general?
I don't expect an answer, I'm just curious in your thoughts.
