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.

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 ...

Majorana 1 is the first quantum processor with a topological core, designed to scale to a million qubits on a single chip. Microsoft announced a breakthrough in quantum computing today, unveiling ...

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

The world is standing at the edge of a major transformation -- from digital economy to becoming a quantum economy, a new ...

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 ...

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. There’s a race going on. Not the ...

In addition, the Majorana 1 is not even a beta product as far as computing goes, maybe not even alpha. It cannot do any useful work until it somehow is extended with many more qubits, known in ...

Majorana 1 has too few qubits for the sorts of experiments that the Azure team has been doing, so we're likely to have to wait for its next-generation hardware to see how the performance of these ...

Qubits made from such quasiparticles are less susceptible to errors than other quantum circuits. As a result, Microsoft believes Majorana 1’s architecture could hold the key to building large ...
