Quantum computing technology may be the holy grail, and naturally, companies are racing to make headway. In December 2024, Google introduced its experimental quantum computer, asserting it could ...

Microsoft did not give a timeline for when the chip would be scaled up to create quantum computers that can outstrip today's machines, but the company said in a blog post that point was "years ...

Microsoft has developed the world’s first quantum computing chip called Majorana 1. The company says quantum computers are now just years away, not decades.

The topological state of matter has been theorized for decades, and Microsoft claims its new Majorana 1 chip harnesses it. The chip was announced to the public on Feb. 19. It marks a step closer to ...

A year later, at a lab in Austin, Texas, Annapurna — which continued to operate as a largely independent team of engineers — began designing the company’s first computer chip dedicated to A.I.

In a leap forward for quantum computing, a Microsoft team led by UC Santa Barbara physicists on Wednesday unveiled an eight-qubit topological quantum processor, the first of its kind. The chip, built ...
