Microsoft just made a MAJOR breakthrough in quantum computing.
(And it’s been 17 years in the making.)
Today, Microsoft unveiled Majorana 1, its first quantum processor built on a completely new architecture.
Here’s why this is a BIG DEAL
A new kind of qubit.
Unlike traditional quantum computers that rely on electrons, Majorana 1 uses the Majorana particle—first described in 1937.
1 million qubits on a single chip.
That’s the goal. A chip not much bigger than a desktop CPU could unlock industrial-scale quantum computing—solving problems we never thought possible.
A new material breakthrough.
Microsoft has created the world’s first topoconductor—a new type of material that makes qubits more stable and reliable.
A million-qubit quantum computer isn’t just a milestone.
It’s the gateway to solving some of the world’s hardest problems—medicine, material science, and beyond.
Quantum is coming. Faster than we thought.
