Microsoft's Quantum Computing Breakthrough with Majorana 1 | The Gestalt IT Rundown: February 25, 2025

from Tech Field Day News Rundown · host Tech Field Day

We've talked about quantum computing before but Microsoft created a quantum quake in the tech space last week. They announced a new quantum computer chip that took seventeen years to make. The Majorana-1 uses a brand new Topological Core technology that reduces error rates significantly and could create chips with as much as one million qubits of processing power per unit. Microsoft's researchers reportedly created a new state of matter in the accompanying research paper published to Nature to help them create the method for increasing the power of the chip.
