Majorana 1

In February 2025, Microsoft introduced Majorana 1, the world's first quantum chip powered by a Topological Core architecture, which aims to revolutionize quantum computing.

• It is the first quantum chip to utilize a Topoconductor (Topological Superconductor), creating a new state of matter beyond solids, liquids, or gases, but a topological state.
  • It is composed of indium arsenide (a semiconductor) and aluminum (a superconductor), enabling enhanced quantum stability and performance.
  • The chip relies on Majorana fermions that act as their own antiparticles.
  • It features eight qubits, but its Topological Core architecture enables error-resistant scaling to one million qubits, ensuring stable quantum computations.
  • Unlike ....
