Explained: What Microsoft's Majorana 1 Means For Quantum Computing
Microsoft has introduced Majorana 1, a groundbreaking quantum chip designed to bring industrial-scale quantum computing within reach in just a few years. Built on a revolutionary Topological Core architecture, this chip harnesses topoconductors - a material capable of stabilising and controlling Majorana particles. It makes qubits more reliable and scalable, bringing quantum computing closer to real-world use. Experts say it could lead to big ad…


Topological quantum processor marks breakthrough in computing
In a leap forward for quantum computing, physicists unveiled an eight-qubit topological quantum processor, the first of its kind. The chip, built as a proof-of-concept for the scientists' design, opens the door to the development of the long-awaited topological quantum computer.
Microsoft Majorana 1: What is it, how it works, what it means for you, and everything else explained
Microsoft on Wednesday made a breakthrough announcement as it launched its first quantum processor, which unlike most other quantum chips that use electrons, the Majorana 1 chip uses Majorana particles.
