On Microsoft's topological qubit: if it looks like a qubit, swims like a qubit, and quacks like a qubit, then it probably is a qubit (so what tests are necessary?). But also: is it a good qubit, and can it be made in many other labs? If not, the animal will remain a rare sighting (owlets not rare).

I am at the ICTS in Bangalore and yesterday while watching waterbirds at a local small lake (see pic), I heard the roar of the leopard who is roaming around. It apparently bit some dogs overnight, see www.vartaguru.com/news/leopard... (Kannada language can be translated via ChatGPT).

Many fascinating things to see and hear at IIT Madras (beyond physics) where I will be in the next 3 months.
