Microsoft's quantum chip Majarona 1 is a few qubits short

Microsoft's quantum chip Majarona 1 is a few qubits short

Microsoft says its Majorana 1 contains eight topological qubits and can scale to a million, though the details on how it will scale are scant. Microsoft Quantum Microsoft’s quantum computing scientists announced they have finally realized a long-held goal of building a “topological qubit”, the equivalent of a transistor for ordinary chips, that may help advance quantum computing.  The qubit is the functional element of a quantum chip, called Majorana 1, based on an exotic…

Microsoft’s Quantum Chip Breakthrough Accelerates Threat to Encryption

Microsoft’s Quantum Chip Breakthrough Accelerates Threat to Encryption

Quantum computers capable of breaking current encryption protocols will be available in “years, not decades,” following the development of the world’s first quantum chip. Microsoft made the assessment as it unveiled the hardware chip, named Majorana 1, on February 19. This breakthrough offers a path to developing quantum computers that can scale to a million qubits. Such systems will be “capable of tackling of tackling the most complex industrial and societal problems,” Microsoft said. However,…
