Beyond high temperature superconductors, p-wave superconductors would be a big deal. The article mentions that one could use them to build Majorana qubits (Microsoft has a significant effort in this direction). The cool thing about Majorana qubits is that they are hypothesized to be orders of magnitude less noisy than the current types of qubits (the quantum state there is a topological property).

Is this the anyonic computing I heard about several years ago or is it another line of quantum computing research also funded by Microsoft?
