The Majorana 1 is the chip before the chip, before the chip that changes personal computing entirely. However, with quantum processors like the Majorana 1 now offering a helping hand, ...

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, ...

The Majorana 1 chip itself, designed to accommodate a million qubits and about the size of your palm, signals that quantum’s “million-qubit” era may be closer than we think.

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 says the new chip, the Microsoft Majorana 1, is "the world’s first quantum chip powered by a new Topological Core architecture" that it expects will "realize quantum computers capable ...

The design of the Majorana 1 processor is supposed to fit up to a million qubits, which may be enough to realize many significant goals of quantum computing—such as cracking cryptographic codes ...

The "Majorana fermion" is a particle with the property of being both matter and anti-matter. The particle existed as a hypothesis for decades until researchers confirmed its existence in 2012.

Microsoft said it recently made a prominent "breakthrough in quantum computing" capabilities -- and it's all thanks to its new product, the Majorana 1.. Earlier this week, the company unveiled the ...

In 2001, the theoretical physicist Alexei Kitaev at Microsoft Research, proposed that “Majorana bound states” could be produced in nanowires comprising topological superconductors. The Majorana ...

Regardless, billions of dollars are being poured into a quantum computing market that likely will come sometime in the not-too-distant future, and Microsoft says the introduction of Majorana 1 will ...
