There's a type of particle called a Majorana fermion that was hypothesized in 1937. This particle has some unique properties, and it's long been theorized that Majorana particles could prove ...

The chip’s foundation relies on a Majorana fermion, a subatomic particle first theorized in the 1930s that reduces the errors that typically plague quantum systems.

Microsoft is claiming to have created a topological qubit—something engineers have been trying to achieve for years. If it’s true, their new Majorana 1 chip could make quantum computing a ...

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.

In theory, a quantum computer made using Majorana particles can be completely free of the qubit errors that plague other designs. This is why Microsoft has chosen such a seemingly laborious approach.

Microsoft Corp. today debuted the Majorana 1, an eight-qubit chip that it touts as a major breakthrough in quantum computing.The processor is powered by quasiparticles called Majorana zero modes.

There's a type of particle called a Majorana fermion that was hypothesized in 1937. ... Microsoft will start with a single-qubit device and build up to devices with larger arrays of qubits, ...

Microsoft said Majorana 1 was fabricated using indium arsenide and aluminum, featuring a superconducting nanowire to observe Majorana particles. Unlike competing quantum chips, Majorana 1 can be ...
