In 2018, in Barron's magazine, Microsoft's quantum team told the paper that the company would have a topological qubit ready by the end of that year. In a sense, the Majorana 1 is seven years late.

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, ...

With the Majorana 1, Microsoft hopes we’ll see these breakthroughs in “years, not decades.” A different take on qubits At the heart of Microsoft’s advance is its new topoconductor material.

Microsoft has unveiled a new quantum chip named Majorana 1 which it claims will be able to solve major, real-world problems within decades. Though others are skeptical of the claims, Microsoft ...

A ‘topoconductor’ is a brand-new type of material that Microsoft created. It helps keep the quantum information safe from ...

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 is announcing a new Majorana 1 processor that’s part of a quantum computing breakthrough. Researchers have spent 17 years to reach this milestone.

Quantum computing is one of the hottest trends in the market. It's an innovative technology that's starting to gain wider adoption, but we're still a few years away from widesprea ...

Interestingly, Microsoft is already working with the Defense Department's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) ...

Even for a Majorana-based quantum computer, such as the one announced by Microsoft, one operation—known as T-gate—won’t be achievable without errors. So the Majorana-based quantum chip is ...
