Microsoft has demonstrated the underlying physics required to create a new kind of qubit

Sounds promising! Did not have the time to read the whole interview.

It is spectacular how Microsoft evolved over the decades from MS-DOS (in 1981), to Windows (in 1985), SQL Server (in 1989), Microsoft Office (in 1990), Visual Studio (in 1997), .Net framework (in 2002), Azure (in 2008), cloud computing and quantum computing. An amazing story!
