Microsoft today introduced Majorana 1, the world’s first quantum chip powered by a new Topological Core architecture that it expects will realize quantum computers capable of solving meaningful, ...

The particle existed as a hypothesis for decades until researchers confirmed its existence in 2012. The name of the Microsoft chip, Majorana 1, is a nod to the importance of the particle.

Microsoft this week unveiled a chip that it claims uses a new state of matter and will be able to produce industrial-scale quantum computers in years – not decades, as previously expected.

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.

Majorana 1 can potentially fit a million qubits onto a single chip that’s not much bigger than the CPUs inside desktop PCs and servers. Microsoft isn’t using electrons for the compute in this ...

Microsoft (MSFT) has unveiled its new Majorana 1 chip, a breakthrough in quantum computing technology that signals practical quantum machines could be available in "years, not decades." The chip ...

Microsoft on Wednesday announced a new kind of quantum computer chip that it says will make quantum computers useful in years, rather than decades in the future.The chip, called Majorana 1, uses ...

Microsoft took one step closer to the finish line with the release of its Majorana 1 chip. This chip uses a different state of matter than the classic solid, gas, or liquid states -- a topological ...

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 17 years of research, Microsoft has finally developed the Majorana 1 chip, its first quantum computing processor based on a brand-new material and architecture, reports The Verge.. At the ...
