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。微软(Microsoft)本周宣布,它在研发量子计算机的过程中创造了一种新的物质状态(既不是固体、液体,也不是气体)。这对科学来说是一个重大进展,但市场似乎并不在意:微软的股价因这一消息上涨,但仅上涨了1%。投资者目前专注于人工智能竞赛;量子计算可能是下一个前沿,但这不是市场的焦点。如果你认为市场应该关注,请给我发邮件:aiden.reiter@ft.com。
