Microsoft has unveiled a new quantum chip named Majorana 1 which it claims will be able to solve major, real-world problems within decades. Though others are skeptical of the claims, Microsoft ...

Microsoft says its Majorana 1 contains eight topological qubits and can scale to a million, though the details on how it will scale are scant. Microsoft Quantum.

Microsoft this week unveiled a chip that it claims uses a new state of matter and will be able to produce industrial-scale quantum computers in years – not decades, as previously expected.

Microsoft’s Majorana 1 quantum processor represents a significant leap forward in this domain, introducing a scalable architecture capable of integrating millions of qubits onto a single chip.

A Microsoft explainer on the Majorana 1 processor. Indeed, Majorana particles are so exotic they are usually only studied in universities—not used in practical applications.

At the heart of Majorana 1 is what Microsoft calls the Topological Core, built from a hybrid material of indium arsenide and aluminum, forming a superconducting structure known as a topoconductor.
