4 days ago · With the core building blocks now demonstrated—quantum information encoded in MZMs, protected by topology, and processed through measurements—we’re ready to move from physics breakthrough to practical implementation. The next step is a scalable architecture built around a single-qubit device called a tetron (see Figure 2). At the Station ...

2 days ago · 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 as a proof-of-concept for the scientists’ design, opens the door to the development of the long-awaited topological quantum computer.

5 days ago · Microsoft today introduced Majorana 1, the world’s first quantum chip powered by a new Topological Core architecture that it expects will realize quantum computers capable of solving meaningful, industrial-scale problems in years, not decades.. It leverages the world’s first topoconductor, a breakthrough type of material which can observe and control Majorana particles to produce more ...

4 days ago · Microsoft has unveiled a new quantum processing unit, the first to be built on a topological core. Majorana 1 is named after previously-hypothesized Majorana particle, which Microsoft now believes it has proved. The new class of materials, known as topoconductors, allows the system to create topological superconductivity.

3 days ago · Majorana 1 Quantum Chip: Microsoft has introduced Majorana 1, the world’s first quantum chip based on a groundbreaking topological core architecture. This breakthrough represents a major leap forward in the development of quantum computers, bringing us closer to solving complex, real-world problems within years instead of the decades once expected.

3 days ago · A key step in the development of Majorana 1 and the Topological Core infrastructure was in using a combination of indium arsenide – as semiconductor – and aluminum – a superconductor – that Nayak wrote that “when cooled to near absolute zero and tuned with magnetic fields, these [gate-defined] devices form topological superconducting ...

3 days ago · Built on a new topological core architecture, the Majorana 1 chipset can potentially accommodate up to one million qubits on a single chip that can fit in a palm. Interestingly, the tech giant is not using electrons for the compute. Instead, it uses Majorana particles, which were first described by theoretical physicist Ettore Majorana in 1937. ...

4 days ago · Microsoft has announced that it has created the first ‘topological qubits’ — a way of storing quantum information that the firm hopes will underpin a new generation of quantum computers.

5 days ago · Microsoft has launched Majorana 1, the world's first quantum processor powered by a Topological Core architecture, marking a significant step toward fault-tolerant, utility-scale quantum computing. The chip leverages tetron qubits—topological qubits built on Majorana zero modes (MZMs)—to achieve sta...

3 days ago · Microsoft has unveiled a new chip it says could deliver quantum computers with real-world applications in ‘years, not decades'. Majorana 1 is the world’s first Quantum Processing Unit (QPU) to be powered by a Topological Core, designed to scale to a million qubits on a single chip.
