This is CBS, I on the World. I'm John Batchel. Quantum Computing.

Brandon Weicker joins. He's of national interest, national security correspondent. You bet quantum computing is national security.

He's also a contributing editor of popular mechanics. However, we're turning to the highest end of

magazines right now, Nature Magazine. This is the peer-reviewed magazine in Europe, and it, along with

science, the equivalent in America, spend more and more time with quantum.

The most recent excitement is over an article that is entitled in a fashion that you're not

supposed to understand the first 50 times you read it.

Interferometric single-shot parity measurement in INAS-Stroke AI hybrid devices.

This is from a team at Microsoft Asia Quantum.

And it takes us into a world where there's controversy, great controversy right now, about

one, is it practical?

Two, is it real? And three, what do we do next with people

searching for something called Majorana? That's right, majorana. It's like word major with a

capital M. Brendan, a very good evening to you. What I understand of this matter, you've taken me through AI and quantum makes AI look easy, is that Microsoft has created a physical object, a chip. And that chip contains two wires or more that are made of a particular substance, indium arsenide.

And that wire allows information to flow along it that is more sophisticated,

articulate, complicated, than the information that is in our computer.

We're zero or one, one of the other, zero or one.

Those wires can contain multiples of zero and one.

Brandon, correct me.

However, what I'm looking for here is an explanation for what is the practical use of this.

Why the fever arguing whether it's real or not. Good evening to you,

Brand. Good evening, John, and thanks for having me again. Your description is fairly apt.
