After many years of work, Microsoft has unveiled its first quantum hardware, the Majorana 1 processor. Let’s grok its topoconductor and tetron-based qubits.

Traditional quantum computing needs intricate and cumbersome procedures to control each and every qubit. However, with Microsoft’s approach, manipulating a qubit is as simple as flipping a light switch using simple voltage pulses. This marks a paradigm shift in how quantum systems are designed and scaled.
