This Chip Could Be the Massive Breakthrough We’ve Been Waiting for in Quantum Computing
Microsoft is claiming to have created a topological qubit—something engineers have been trying to achieve for years.
Microsoft’s New Majorana 1 Processor Could Transform Quantum Computing
The processor uses qubits that can be measured without error and are resistant to outside interference, which the company says marks a “transformative leap toward practical quantum computing.”
Microsoft's quantum chip Majarona 1 is a few qubits short
There isn't yet a roadmap to show Microsoft can scale its chip to the million topological qubits required to make a working quantum computer.
Microsoft Majorana 1 Chip Has 8 Qubits Right Now with a Roadmap to 1 Million Raw Qubits
Microsoft team behind the recent breakthrough in physics and quantum computing demonstrated by the new Majorana 1 chip, engineered from an entirely new
A new Microsoft chip could lead to more stable quantum computers
Microsoft has long been working on an alternative that could cut down on the overhead by using components that are far more stable. These components, called Majorana quasiparticles, are not real particles. Instead, they are special patterns of behavior that may arise inside certain physical systems and under certain conditions.
