Microsoft has introduced Majorana 1, a chip for quantum computing, which it said will enable computers to solve incredibly difficult industrial-scale problems in mere years instead of the decades ...

Microsoft has taken a very different approach to build its “topological qubits”. They have used what are called Majorana particles, first theorised in 1937 by Italian physicist Ettore Majorana.

Microsoft has taken a very different approach to build its “topological qubits.” They have used what are called Majorana particles, first theorized in 1937 by Italian physicist Ettore Majorana.

Microsoft’s Majorana 1 chip is billed as the company’s first quantum computing processor. The excitement surrounding this million-qubit dream, with its unique architecture and reliance on ...

One of the remarkable features of Majorana 1 is its compactness. The chip integrates both qubits and the necessary control electronics into a device that fits comfortably in the palm of a hand.

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

The Majorana 1 chip contains eight qubits, or quantum bits, far fewer than top-tier quantum computers currently in operation. Where to invest $1,000 right now?

Microsoft says its new Majorana 1 chip could lead to quantum computers capable of unprecedented power, using a newly observed state of matter.

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.
