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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
