The Majorana 1 chip itself, designed to accommodate a million qubits and about the size of your palm, signals that quantum’s “million-qubit” era may be closer than we think.

Buffett doesn't have any quantum computing stocks in Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio. All three companies are investing ...

Microsoft team behind the recent breakthrough in physics and quantum computing demonstrated by the new Majorana 1 chip, engineered from an entirely new material that has the potential to scale to ...

After many years of work, Microsoft has unveiled its first quantum hardware, the Majorana 1 processor. Let’s grok its topoconductor and tetron-based qubits.

Microsoft's quantum chip Majorana 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 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 ...

This solves the noise problem that creates errors in qubits.” Currently, Majorana 1 holds only eight of these qubits, which isn’t nearly enough to perform world-changing calculations.

Majorana 1 is the first quantum processor with a topological core, designed to scale to a million qubits on a single chip.
