In a surprising and unpredictable development, Microsoft (MSFT) has unveiled its first quantum computing chip, Majorana 1. This chip, featuring

Microsoft’s Majorana 1 chip employs advanced topological qubits that shield quantum information from disturbances and reduce errors, offering a promising path toward scalable, reliable quantum computing.

The processor uses qubits that can be measured without error and are resistant to outside interference, which the company says marks a “transformative leap toward practical quantum computing.”
