Satya Nadella: belief

Transcript context

…And you're saying the eventual million qubits will go on a chip this size? Okay, amazing. Other companies have announced 100 physical qubits, Google's, IBM's, others. When you say you've announced one, but you're saying that yours is way more scalable in the limit. Yeah. The one thing we’ve also done is we've taken an approach where we've separated our software and our hardware. We're building out our software stack, and we now have, with the neutral atom folks, the ion trap folks, we're also working with others who even have pretty good approaches with photonics and what have you, that means there'll be different types of quantum computers. In fact, we have what, I think that the last thing that we announced was 24 logical qubits. So we have also got some fantastic breakthroughs on error correction and that's what is allowing us, even on neutral atom and ion trap quantum computers, to build these 20 plus, and I think that'll keep going even throughout the year; you'll see us improve that yardstick. But we also then said, "Let's go to the first principles and build our own quantum computer that is betting on the topological qubit." And that's what this breakthrough is about. Amazing. The million topological qubits, thousands of logical qubits, what is the estimated timeline to scale up to that level? What does the Moore's law here, if you've got the first transistor, look like?…
