Mint Explainer: Microsoft's new chip and a quantum leap for computing
In a blog post, Chetan Nayak technical fellow and corporate VP of quantum hardware, Microsoft, noted: Built with a breakthrough class of materials called a topoconductor, Majorana 1 marks a transformative leap toward practical quantum computing. Today, we’re announcing rapid advancements on the path to useful quantum computing Majorana 1, the world’s first Quantum Processing Unit powered by a Topological Core, designed to scale to a million qubits on a single chip." Microsoft’s new chip showed quantum computing is `years, not decades’ away and it joins recent efforts by Google and IBM in predicting that a fundamental change in computing technology is much closer than has been believed. Microsoft's Majorana 1 brings us closer to the possibility of having practical use of quantum computers, completely overhauling computing as we know it today.
It’s only a matter of time before quantum computers start solving real-world problems
