Microsoft has introduced its first quantum chip, Majorana 1, which utilizes a revolutionary material called 'topoconductor' to enable topological superconductivity.
This innovation marks a new state of matter, previously only theoretically possible, and could lead to the realization of compact quantum systems with up to a million qubits.
The Majorana 1 chip has a reduced error margin compared to competitors and represents a significant advancement towards Microsoft's vision of a million-qubit quantum computer.
Quantum computing could revolutionize fields like material science, agriculture, and chemical discovery by enabling large-scale calculations on a quantum computer.
