Consider the following statements

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 only I

(b)

II and III only

(c)

I and III only

(d)

I, II and III

Explanation

Answer: (c) I and III only Explanation: • Statement I: Majorana fermions are particles that could enable fault-tolerant quantum computing. Research into Majorana-based chips (e.g., by Microsoft) suggests they could advance quantum computing, so this statement is correct. • Statement II: The Majorana 1 chip is associated with Microsoft’s quantum computing efforts, not AWS. AWS focuses on cloud-based quantum computing services (e.g., Amazon Braket), not specific chip development like Majorana. This statement is incorrect. • Statement III: Deep learning is indeed a subset of machine learning, involving neural networks with multiple layers to analyze complex data. This statement is correct. Thus, I and III are correct, making the answer (c).
