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.”

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

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

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

With its ‘topological’ quantum computers, Microsoft aims to reach useful scales faster than competing technologies

Discover how Microsoft’s quantum computing breakthroughs are transforming industries with the Majorana 1 chip and topological qubits.

Quantum computing stocks advanced on Thursday after Microsoft launched a new chip that indicated the technology is not "decades away" as stated by the top boss of AI chip bellwether Nvidia.

Its Majorana 1 chip, made of a new material, can perform high-level computing tasks with greater speed and accuracy, Microsoft says.

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.

Only a little more than a month after Google announced its Willow quantum computing chip, Microsoft is revealing its own. The Majorana 1, Microsoft says, makes use of a topoconductor, which is material that allows for more reliability and scalability from the chip’s qubits.

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