My first scan parsed that as "Marijuana 1 quantum processor". Very high performance ...

For me it was more than my first scan. I understand the word is Majorana, but when I go to pronounce it or read it, my brain reports back "Major-auwana."

The people who signed off on this name a) do a lot of drugs or b) didn't notice because they have never come anywhere near weed

Argghhhh.

I rue the day that I decided to play the game of "What word is Majorana 1 similar to?"

Cuz, and I know the armchair psychoanalysts will have a field day, this is what my mind pieced together...

    Major ana*1  (remove the asterisk and treat the one like an ell)

Now I can't unsee it. Sigh.
