Read this question in English

Consider the following statements:

I. It is expected that Majorana 1 chip will enable quantum computing.

II. Majorana 1 chip has been introduced by Amazon Web Services (AWS).

III. Deep learning is a subset of machine learning.

Which of the statements given above are correct?

(a) I and II only · (b) II and III only · (c) I and III only · (d) I, II and III

उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English

Answer: (c) केवल I और III

Statements I and III are correct; Statement II is wrong because Majorana 1 was introduced by Microsoft, not Amazon Web Services. Deep learning is a narrower technique inside machine learning, which itself sits inside artificial intelligence.

  • ✓ I Microsoft announced Majorana 1 on 19 February 2025 as a quantum chip built on a new Topological Core architecture, which it expects will lead to quantum computers that can solve industrial-scale problems.
  • ✗ II The chip was introduced by Microsoft (announced on 19 February 2025), not by Amazon Web Services.
  • ✓ III Machine learning is a subset of AI, and deep learning, which uses neural networks with many layers, is a subset of machine learning.

Remember · Majorana 1 is Microsoft's topological quantum chip (Feb 2025); AI contains machine learning, which contains deep learning.
