Microsoft introduces Majorana 1, a groundbreaking quantum chip with a new topological core, enabling more stable and efficient quantum computing. This development could lead to one million qubits ...

Gather 'round readers, for it is a tale as old as time. Or at least as old as 2018, when Microsoft first made headlines relating to the Majorana particle and its application in quantum computing.

Boffins don’t back the hype Microsoft has been boasting that its quantum chip is powered by an "entirely new state of matter," but not everyone is buying the hype. The fruity cargo cult ...

Microsoft has unveiled a new quantum processing unit, the first to be built on a topological core. Majorana 1 is named after previously-hypothesized Majorana particle, which Microsoft now believes ...

The topological state of matter has been theorized for decades, and Microsoft claims its new Majorana 1 chip harnesses it. The chip was announced to the public on Feb. 19. It marks a step closer to ...
