Microsoft Has Finally Unveiled Its Quantum Computer

Microsoft is claiming to have created a topological qubit—something engineers have been trying to achieve for years.
Quasiparticles are collections of particles (and, in some cases, field lines) that can be described mathematically as if they ...
Microsoft team behind the recent breakthrough in physics and quantum computing demonstrated by the new Majorana 1 chip, ...
Silicon is the best-known semiconductor material. However, controlled nanostructuring drastically alters the material's ...
There isn't yet a roadmap to show Microsoft can scale its chip to the million topological qubits required to make a working ...
Using a specially developed etching apparatus, researchers produced mesoporous silicon layers with countless tiny pores and ...
Joint research demonstrating the ability to readout superconducting qubits with an optical transducer was published in Nature ...
Majorana 1 is the first quantum processor with a topological core, designed to scale to a million qubits on a single chip.
We are on the path to a new era of quantum computing. We must now prepare for the exponential benefits and risks of quantum technologies.
