Quantum computing has long been hailed as the future of computational power, promising to solve complex problems beyond the reach of classical computers. On February 19, 2025, Microsoft announced a major breakthrough in this field, unveiling Microsoft’s Majorana 1, a quantum chip based on a new Topological Core architecture. According to Microsoft, this development could bring practical quantum computing within reach in years, not decades.

What Is Majorana 1?

Majorana 1 is Microsoft’s latest attempt at building a scalable quantum computer, leveraging topological qubits—a unique approach that differs from conventional superconducting or trapped-ion qubits.… Read the rest
