Microsoft Creates Half-Electron Quasiparticle for Its Future Quantum Computer

  • They didn't create "half-electron". They created Majorana quasiparticles inside a superconductor.

    Majorana particles are weird because they are their own antiparticle, but they are not "half-electrons". Moreover, probably neutrinos are Majorana particles, but nobody is sure, and currently there are some experiments to try to prove it.
