The author wrote that Microsoft had made its quantum chips available to the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for independent testing, describing the qubits as controversial. The post also said Microsoft had repeatedly claimed to have created topological qubits. https://t.co/ejCuhKRF6q #Microsoft #QuantumComputing #Qubits #US

Nuclear fusion just got a reality check. Researchers from MIT checked which fusion designs have a chance of ever making economic sense. They carefully evaluated the construction and maintenance costs and the expected profit made by selling energy. Their calculations suggest that https://t.co/fsCp51CdUT #NuclearFusion #MIT #EnergyEconomics #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.
