Microsoft's recent announcement of the Majorana 1 quantum processor, a topological qubit-wielding breakthrough so bold it's designed on physics that aren't fully established yet, has come under ...

Microsoft says the new chip, the Microsoft Majorana 1, is "the world’s first quantum chip powered by a new Topological Core architecture" that it expects will "realize quantum computers capable ...

Microsoft has taken a very different approach to build its “topological qubits.” They have used what are called Majorana particles, first theorized in 1937 by Italian physicist Ettore Majorana.

So, does the release of Majorana 1 now make Microsoft a leader in quantum computing? How does the announcement affect how investors should view other quantum stocks?

Microsoft’s Majorana 1 chip is billed as the company’s first quantum computing processor. The excitement surrounding this million-qubit dream, with its unique architecture and reliance on ...

Microsoft claims that building its first quantum-computing chip required that it create a new state of matter, which it is referring to as a topological state.

Microsoft has developed the world’s first quantum computing chip called Majorana 1. The company says quantum computers are now just years away, not decades.

In 2018, a study partially funded by Microsoft but conducted by an independent university reported the detection of the presence of Majorana zero-modes.

Microsoft on Wednesday debuted its Majorana 1 quantum computing chip. The news comes just two months after Google announced its own quantum chip.
