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 ...

The Majorana 1 chip relies on what Microsoft calls a Topological Core, meaning its built with a material called a topological superconductor, or topoconductor, that creates a novel state of matter ...

Theoretically predicted about decades ago, the Majorana is expected to revolutionize quantum computing, particularly the topological-based, more stable approach, which is being led by Microsoft.

A possible new leap in quantum computing was announced this week when Microsoft’s Satya Nadella claimed he achieved a major breakthrough with its first chip, known as the Majorana 1 chip.

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 ...

Microsoft's Majorana 1 chip includes eight topological quantum bits. Microsoft claims that building its first quantum-computing chip required that it create a new state of matter, which it is ...

In a surprise announcement on Wednesday, Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) unveiled a quantum-computing chip, Majorana 1, that successfully harnesses a small number of exotic Majorana particles to encode ...

Microsoft on Wednesday announced a new kind of quantum computer chip that it says will make quantum computers useful in years, rather than decades in the future.The chip, called Majorana 1, uses ...
