The processor uses qubits that can be measured without error and are resistant to outside interference, which the company says marks a “transformative leap toward practical quantum computing.”

Quantum computing can power breakthroughs in medicine that would normally take today's systems millions of years to calculate.

Microsoft has announced a significant breakthrough in quantum computing: the creation of the first "topological qubits." Unlike conventional quantum bits, these qubits store information using an exotic state of matter.

Majorana 1 relies on ‘topological superconductivity,’ a never-before-seen theoretical form of matter.

The tech giant has joined Google and IBM in predicting that a fundamental change in computing technology is closer than recently believed.

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 is claiming to have created a topological qubit—something engineers have been trying to achieve for years.

Microsoft has announced a groundbreaking advancement in quantum computing with the introduction of its Majorana 1 chip. This innovative chip promises to bring the dream of quantum computing closer to reality in a matter of years rather than decades.
