Microsoft unveils the Majorana 1 Quantum Chip – breakthrough in computing
The Microsoft Unveils the Majorana 1 Quantum Chip, Powered by the World’s First Topoconductor – Topoconductors represent the biggest material breakthrough in computing since silicon.
On Wednesday 19 February, Microsoft unveiled the Majorana [MY-uh-RON-uh] 1, a revolutionary quantum chip. It’s powered by the world’s first topoconductor. This a novel class of material that will reduce the time of impact, for a truly transformative quantum computer to years, not decades.
A Topoconductor – or TSC (Topological Superconductor) – is an entirely new state of matter. It represents the biggest material breakthrough in computing since silicon.
It’s not a solid, liquid, or gas, but a topological state – theorised for nearly 100 years but has eluded scientists until now.
Just like semiconductors enabled the creation of electronics and classical computers, this revolutionary new class of material will enable quantum systems that can scale to 1 million qubits [CUE-bits].
The technology will help tackle society’s most complex problems. Especially in domains like energy, materials, consumer products, and health care. Also, could lead to innovation in areas like self-healing materials, sustainable agriculture, plastic cleanup, and chemical discovery.
Following Microsoft and Atom Computing’s announcement of the first commercial reliable quantum computer last year, this scientific breakthrough enables the creation of smaller, faster, and more stable qubits. The world’s first qubits created with
