The quantum battery (QB) has been proposed as an alternative to the electrochemical energy storage devices we know so well.

Quantum Confusion Keeps Coming with Qubits Schrödinger’s cat is scratching its head over the “topological” qubit that is causing a buzz in quantum computing. We should be, too ...

Since Microsoft’s Majorana 1 quantum computing news, some members of the scientific community have raised questions about the validity of the tech giant’s claims. Here’s why.

Creating a topological qubit requires provoking electrons in a material to dance just-so. The electron collective behaves like a hypothetical, particle-ish thing: a quasiparticle known as a Majorana.

“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.” ...

Physicists at the University of Cologne have taken an important step forward in the pursuit of topological quantum computing by demonstrating the first-ever observation of Crossed Andreev ...

Microsoft’s claim rests on elusive and exotic quasiparticles called Majorana zero modes (MZMs). These can theoretically be used to create a topological qubit, a new type of quantum bit – the ...
