During the 2017 Microsoft Ignite, CEO of Microsoft Satya Nadela announced that the IT giant is pushing  to build a quantum computing ecosystem, a new “revolutionary technology” which would allow scientists to do computations in a fraction of time.
Satya Nadela, during his keynote address said:
A quantum computer enables you to encode information, not just as one or zero but as one and zero simultaneously. That means it unlocks amazing parallelism. You could take a quantum computer and solve some of these unsolvable problems because they approach it with that amazing parallelism where they’ll take every path in the corn maze simultaneously. That’s [...]
