UPSC CSE 2025 · PYQ · Science & Technology / Quantum Computing & AI · medium
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✓ Correct
D.I, II and III
Explanation
The Majorana 1 chip was unveiled by Microsoft (not Amazon Web Services) in February 2025, and it is a quantum computing chip based on topoconductors and Majorana zero modes, expected to advance the development of scalable quantum computers. Hence statement I is correct, but statement II is incorrect because AWS did not introduce it. Deep learning is indeed a subset of machine learning, which itself is a subset of artificial intelligence — so statement III is correct.
