A route to scalable Majorana qubits Researchers at QuTech have found a way to make Majorana particles in a two-dimensional plane. This was achieved by creating devices that exploit the combined ...

This week, Microsoft announced that it had made a major breakthrough in achieving that goal, stating that they created a quantum architecture—known as Majorana 1—that’s capable of one day ...

New approach for Majorana research in short nanowires. Delft University of Technology. Journal Nature DOI 10.1038/s41586-022-05585-1 ...

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 ...

One possible alternative is to make qubits from so-called Majorana bound states (MBSs). These states are quasiparticles that arise from collective effects in a superconducting system, and they are ...

Researchers have imaged an exotic quantum particle -- called a Majorana fermion -- that can be used as a building block for future qubits and eventually the realization of quantum computers.

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. There’s Always a Catch.

Unlike competing quantum chips, Majorana 1 can be controlled using standard computing equipment. While the chip currently contains fewer qubits than quantum processors from IBM and Google ...

None of them are asking about subatomic particles or topology-based qubits. Microsoft’s Majorana 1 might be a big deal in the world of quantum research, but it’s a dubious proposition for ...
