[You asked: We don't sell saddles here](https://buildingslack.com/you-asked/)Welcome to Pocket to Podcast. Today we have 2 articles covering innovations in technology and business culture.In a significant leap towards the future of computing, Microsoft has been on a quest to build a quantum computer for over two decades. This ambitious journey was kickstarted in 2000 when a Microsoft executive approached Chetan Nayak, a mountaineer and physics professor, with a dual proposition: to climb Mount Rainier and to embark on the challenge of creating a quantum computer. Nayak successfully summited Mount Rainier within two years, but the endeavor to build a workable quantum device has proved to be a far more prolonged and complex climb.Quantum computing represents a revolutionary approach to computation, harnessing the principles of quantum mechanics to process information at speeds unfathomable to traditional computers. Microsoft's initiative reflects a broader trend in the tech industry, where giants like IBM are also investing heavily in quantum computing resear...Generated by Pocket to Podcast
