Consider the following statements:

  1. It is expected that the Majorana 1 chip will enable quantum computing.
  2. Majorana 1 chip has been introduced by Amazon Web Services (AWS).
  3. Deep learning is a subset of machine learning.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
  1. I and II only
  2. II and III only
  3. I and III only
  4. I, II and III

Explanation

Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect
  • Majorana 1 is a quantum chip developed by Microsoft that aims to make quantum computing more stable and reliable by leveraging a new state of matter called Majorana particles. Their purpose is to create less error-prone qubits for practical quantum computing.

Statement III is correct
  • Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that uses multi-layered artificial neural networks to model and understand complex data patterns.
  • Unlike broader machine learning algorithms, deep learning excels in tasks like image recognition, natural language processing, and speech recognition.

PMF Concept Hack

  • Statement II can be eliminated first using current-affairs awareness. Even from the name, “Web Services” sounds more like a cloud/computing service platform than a chip manufacturer, making the statement unlikely. Once Statement II is eliminated, options containing it are removed.
Answer: (c) I and III only; Difficulty Level: Medium
