Microsoft unveils Majorana 1 quantum processor
Majorana 1 from Microsoft is the world’s first Quantum Processing Unit (QPU) built with a topoconductor. Discover more.
With the core building blocks now demonstrated—quantum information encoded in MZMs, protected by topology, and processed through measurements—we’re ready to move from physics breakthrough to practical implementation. During this phase, Microsoft intends to build a fault-tolerant prototype based on topological qubits in years, not decades —a crucial acceleration step toward utility-scale quantum computing. But quantum computing at this scale could lead to innovations like self-healing materials that repair cracks in bridges, sustainable agriculture, and safer chemical discovery.
