Microsoft has made a breakthrough in quantum computing by creating a new state of matter and developing stable qubits
The new state of matter, called a 'topological state', allows for the creation and control of stable particles called Majoranas
Quantum computers can solve problems that are currently impossible for traditional computers to tackle, such as creating self-healing materials and designing more efficient solar panels
Microsoft's achievement could accelerate the timeline for practical quantum computing and lead to significant advancements in various fields
