Microsoft has unveiled Majorana 1, a quantum chip with a Topological Core architecture, paving the way for a one-million-qubit quantum processor.

I've always been fascinated by how materials break down, especially glasses and polymers that don't have a regular crystal ...

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, ...

Majorana 1 is the first quantum processor with a topological core, designed to scale to a million qubits on a single chip.

This new architecture—which Microsoft calls the Topological Core powered by “topoconductors”—can coax into existence (using nanowires, superconductors, and lots of fancy physics) a ...

Designed to scale to a million qubits, the first iteration of what Microsoft is calling a topological core has eight qubits, which can help prove many of the requirements for quantum processing.

Microsoft has unveiled its new Majorana 1 chip, powered by topological qubits. CEO Satya Nadella called it a "breakthrough" in quantum computing.

Microsoft has unveiled its new Majorana 1 chip, powered by topological qubits. CEO Satya Nadella called it a "breakthrough" in quantum computing.

The chip, called Majorana 1, is the world’s first quantum chip powered by a specific Topological Core architecture.

Microsoft’s iteration relies on what the company refers to as topological qubits. At the heart of Majorana 1 is a topological core that can be scaled to a million qubits on a single chip.
