So this is why I think we like the analogy of thinking of this as the transistor moment of quantum computing, where we effectively have a new...
phase, which is the topological phase, which means we can even now reliably hide the quantum information and measure it, and we can fabricate it.
And so now that we have it, we feel like with that core foundational fabrication technique out of the way, we can start building a Majorana chip, that Majorana 1, which I think is going to basically be the first chip that will be capable of a million qubits physical.
And then on that, thousands of logical qubits error corrected.
And then...
Game on, right?
So then you suddenly have now got the ability to build a real utility square quantum computer.
And that, to me, is now so much more feasible, right?
Because without something like this,
you will still be able to achieve milestones, but you'll never be able to build a utility-scale computer.
And so that's why we're excited about it.
Yeah, I forget now.
Are we calling it Majorana?
Yeah, that's right.
Majorana 1.
And I'm glad we named it after that.
And this is the... I mean, to think of the fact that we are able to build...
Like, something like a million qubit quantum computer in a thing of this size is just unbelievable.
And that's, I think, the crux of it, which is unless and until we could do that, you can't dream of building a utility-scale quantum computer.
Yeah.
