Microsoft has launched its Majorana 1 QPU, the first to utilize a Topological Core, making significant progress towards widespread quantum computing. This chip leverages topoconductors to achieve topological superconductivity, representing a new phase of matter. With innovations involving indium arsenide and aluminum in nanowires, the Majorana 1 can potentially scale to one million qubits. Microsoft aims for practical applications in quantum computing much sooner than previously expected, with plans for a fault-tolerant prototype in development to further enhance capability and efficiency in quantum technology.
"After a nearly 20-year pursuit, we've created an entirely new state of matter, unlocked by a new class of materials, topoconductors, that enable a fundamental leap in computing."
"The qubits created with topoconductors are faster, more reliable, and smaller. They are 1/100th of a millimeter, meaning we now have a clear path to a million-qubit processor."
