However, Microsoft has well and truly thrown a wrench into the works after announcing its Majorana 1 quantum computing chip on Wednesday. This leaves me with the unenviable task of somehow ...

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 ...

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.

There isn't yet a roadmap to show Microsoft can scale its chip to the million topological qubits required to make a working quantum computer.

Microsoft's Majorana 1 chip is a groundbreaking innovation in quantum computing, paving the way for scalable and efficient quantum processors.

The result, which you can read about in this paper, is Majorana 1, a quantum chip that comes with a new Topological Core infrastructure, described in an article in Nature, that Microsoft says harkens ...

Microsoft is cutting thousands of jobs in its latest round of layoffs, following previous reductions in May, as part of ...

Microsoft has taken a very different approach to build its “topological qubits.” They have used what are called Majorana particles, first theorized in 1937 by Italian physicist Ettore Majorana.

Microsoft said it recently made a prominent "breakthrough in quantum computing" capabilities -- and it's all thanks to its new product, the Majorana 1.

Microsoft team behind the recent breakthrough in physics and quantum computing demonstrated by the new Majorana 1 chip, engineered from an entirely new material that has the potential to scale to ...

Microsoft is announcing a new Majorana 1 processor that’s part of a quantum computing breakthrough. Researchers have spent 17 years to reach this milestone.

Microsoft's wacky Majorana 1 chip, powered by an 'entirely new state of matter', could have industrial quantum computing here 'in years, not decades' News By Jacob Fox published 20 February 2025 ...
