New state of matter powers Microsoft quantum computing chip
Majorana 1 relies on ‘topological superconductivity,’ a never-before-seen theoretical form of matter.
Massive Microsoft Quantum Computer Breakthrough Uses New State Of Matter
Microsoft sees a path to million qubit quantum computers within years via an entirely new kind of quantum computer using a new kind of matter: topological superconductors.
Microsoft quantum breakthrough promises to usher in the next era of computing in ‘years, not decades’
Microsoft says it has developed a breakthrough quantum processor based on a new state of matter, giving it a clear path to achieve quantum computing’s long-term promise of solving some of the world’s most difficult problems.
Microsoft Unveils Quantum Chip Powered by a 'New State of Matter'
Microsoft's Majorana 1 processor uses topological superconductivity to potentially scale quantum computing to 1 million qubits
Microsoft deploys new state of matter in its first quantum computing chip
Microsoft claims that building its first quantum-computing chip required that it create a new state of matter, which it is referring to as a topological state.
Microsoft creates chip it says shows quantum computers are 'years, not decades' away
Microsoft on Wednesday unveiled a new chip that it said showed quantum computing is "years, not decades" away, joining Google and IBM in predicting that a fundamental change in computing technology is much closer than recently believed.
Microsoft reveals its first quantum computing chip, the Majorana 1
Microsoft on Wednesday announced Majorana 1, its first quantum computing chip. The achievement comes after the company has spent nearly two decades of research in the field. Technologists believe quantum computers could one day efficiently solve problems that would be taxing if not impossible for classical computers.
Powerful quantum computers in years not decades, says Microsoft
Microsoft has unveiled a new chip called Majorana 1 that it says will enable the creation of quantum computers able to solve "meaningful, industrial-scale problems in years, not decades". It is the latest development in quantum computing - tech which uses principles of particle physics to create a new type of computer able to solve problems ordinary computers cannot.
