What is Microsoft’s new Majorana 1 chip that can transform quantum computing - Microsoft has mapped out a viable route to a million-qubit quantum chip with an entirely new state of matter.
By integrating topoconductors and Majorana particles, Microsoft has mapped out a viable route to a million-qubit quantum chip
Yet for years, researchers have wrestled with how to build a machine that can handle the demanding physics behind qubits, the core units of information in quantum systems, without collapsing under noise, instability, and scaling challenges. Held delicately in a hand, the golden-hued Microsoft Majorana 1 chip is a compact marvel of quantum technology Image: MicrosoftQuantum computing could revolutionize how we solve problems, especially involving huge amounts of data or complex interactions in chemistry, physics, and materials science. This is a major leap in the quest to build a machine capable of handling a million qubits, a threshold that experts believe is necessary for tackling real-world problems like exploring new pharmaceuticals, optimizing complex supply chains, or discovering self-healing materials that could fix cracks in bridges, airplane parts, or even scratched phone screens.
