4 days ago · Harnessing a new type of material. All of today’s announcements build on our team’s recent breakthrough: the world’s first topoconductor. This revolutionary class of materials enables us to create topological superconductivity, a new state of matter that previously existed only in theory. The advance stems from Microsoft’s innovations in …

5 days ago · Microsoft today introduced Majorana 1, the world’s first quantum chip powered by a new Topological Core architecture that it expects will realize quantum computers capable of solving meaningful, industrial-scale problems in years, not decades.. It leverages the world’s first topoconductor, a breakthrough type of material which can observe and control Majorana particles to produce more ...

3 days ago · The design of the Majorana 1 processor is supposed to fit up to a million qubits, which may be enough to realize many significant goals of quantum computing—such as cracking cryptographic codes ...

1 day ago · Majorana 1 is the world's first quantum chip using Topological Core architecture. It introduces topoconductors, a new class of materials that can observe and control Majorana particles - exotic ...

2 days ago · The Microsoft Majorana 1 chip currently has 8 qubits. These are topological qubits, which are designed to be more stable and less prone to errors compared to traditional qubits, thanks to their unique properties based on Majorana zero modes. Microsoft has outlined an ambitious roadmap to scale up to 1 million qubits on a single chip.

5 days ago · Microsoft claims that building its first quantum-computing chip required that it create a new state of matter, which it is referring to as a topological state.

4 days ago · Hear from the Microsoft team behind the recent breakthrough in physics and quantum computing demonstrated by the new Majorana 1 chip, engineered from an enti...

4 days ago · Majorana 1 can potentially fit a million qubits onto a single chip that’s not much bigger than the CPUs inside desktop PCs and servers. Microsoft isn’t using electrons for the compute in this ...
