Microsoft's recent announcement of the Majorana 1 quantum processor, a topological qubit-wielding breakthrough so bold it's designed on physics that aren't fully established yet, has come under ...

Now, Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) is following Google's lead. On Feb. 19, the tech giant revealed its latest quantum chip, Majorana 1. Some are dubbing this new chip a breakthrough in quantum technology.

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 ...

Microsoft won’t be allowing clients to use its Majorana 1 chip through the company’s Azure public cloud, as it plans to do with its custom artificial intelligence chip, Maia 100.

By this measure, Majorana 1 may offer a more future-proof foundation to reach a million-qubit target. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella emphasized this milestone. In a LinkedIn blog post, he said: ...

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.

A possible new leap in quantum computing was announced this week when Microsoft’s Satya Nadella claimed he achieved a major breakthrough with its first chip, known as the Majorana 1 chip.
