Microsoft’s new “topological qubit” is not based on a solid, liquid or gas. It is another phase of matter that many experts did not think was possible.

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 ...

Microsoft Quantum. Those elements of Microsoft's approach are mostly theoretical until proven. And there are grounds for caution because the very existence of a topological qubit is something that ...

In a leap forward for quantum computing, a Microsoft team led by UC Santa Barbara physicists on Wednesday unveiled an eight-qubit topological quantum processor, the first of its kind. The chip, built ...

The world of quantum computing is moving fast. It’s a really exciting area where new ideas are popping up all the time. This ...

Majorana 1 Microsoft has unveiled a quantum processor with a “topological core”. (Courtesy: John Brecher/Microsoft) Researchers at Microsoft in the US claim to have made the first topological quantum ...

Microsoft describes its scientific breakthrough — enabling the creation of the world’s first “topological” qubit — in a research paper published Wednesday in the journal Nature. [Update ...

“As far as the press announcement that they have a topological qubit, I would say most scientists would dispute that,” Lee said. “They are far from having a working qubit. ...

The single qubit building block is called a tetron. It has two superconducting topological wires that host four Majorana Zero Modes (MZM) at each end. The wires are linked by a thinner superconductor.
