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 ...

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 says its new Majorana 1 chip could lead to quantum computers capable of unprecedented power, using a newly observed state of matter.

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 ...
