Overview
Microsoft has announced the Majorana 1 chip, a new quantum computing hardware featuring topological qubits. The development suggests that Microsoft could meet timelines for creating useful quantum computers that were previously thought to be decades away. This chip uses quasiparticles called Majorana fermions, aiming for a high density of qubits on a single chip. Although experts remain cautiously optimistic, Microsoft's innovative approach may position it as a serious competitor in the quantum computing race.
