Microsoft didn’t find that elusive particle after all
A ground-breaking discovery made by Microsoft in 2018, which could have had a profound impact on the companys quantum computing plans, has now been discredited.
Three years ago, Leo Kouwenhoven, a Dutch physicist and Microsoft employee, claimed to have found evidence of a subatomic particle that could lead to a rapid rollout of commercial quantum computers but the findings have now been dismissed.
