Good morning. Microsoft announced yesterday that it created a new state of matter (something that is neither solid, liquid nor gas) in its quest to create a quantum computer. It’s a big step for science, but one that the market did not seem to care about: Microsoft was up on the news, but only by 1 per cent. Investors are zeroed in on the AI race; quantum computing might be the next frontier, but it’s not where the market is focused. Email me if you think the market should be: aiden.reiter@ft.com.
早上好。微軟(Microsoft)本周宣布,它在研發量子計算機的過程中創造了一種新的物質狀態(既不是固體、液體,也不是氣體)。這對科學來說是一個重大進展,但市場似乎并不在意:微軟的股價因這一消息上漲,但僅上漲了1%。投資者目前專注于人工智能競賽;量子計算可能是下一個前沿,但這不是市場的焦點。如果你認為市場應該關注,請給我發郵件:aiden.reiter@ft.com。
