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 technical fellow Krysta Svore describes the creation of the Majorana 1's indium arsenide topoconductor as done atom by atom, highlighting, "understanding these materials is incredibly hard.

Microsoft this week unveiled a chip that it claims uses a new state of matter and will be able to produce industrial-scale quantum computers in years – not decades, as previously expected.

Microsoft says its Majorana 1 contains eight topological qubits and can scale to a million, though the details on how it will scale are scant. Microsoft Quantum.

Microsoft is cutting thousands of jobs in its latest round of layoffs, following previous reductions in May, as part of ...

Microsoft today introduced Majorana 1, the world’s first quantum chip powered by a new Topological Core architecture that it expects will realize quantum computers capable of solving meaningful, ...

Microsoft has instead put its time and resources into developing Majorana-based qubits. While the company is late to the quantum party , it hopes to catch up quickly. There’s Always a Catch ...

Along with introducing Majorana 1, Microsoft also is laying out a roadmap to push its fault-tolerant quantum computing initiative and scalable QEC, starting with the development of a single-qubit ...

Microsoft unveiled Majorana 1, a quantum chip the company says is powered by a new state of matter. The new chip allows for more stable, scalable, and simplified quantum computing, the company says.

Majorana 1 can potentially fit a million qubits onto a single chip that’s not much bigger than the CPUs inside desktop PCs and servers. Microsoft isn’t using electrons for the compute in this ...

Microsoft has spent the last 20 years pursuing a topological approach to quantum development. Last week, they had a breakthrough: The company counted eight topological qubits on their Majorana 1 chip.

A Microsoft explainer on the Majorana 1 processor. Indeed, Majorana particles are so exotic they are usually only studied in universities—not used in practical applications.
