Microsoft has introduced Majorana 1, a quantum chip with a "Topological Core" architecture, potentially enabling powerful quantum computers within years instead of decades. The breakthrough stems from a newly developed material called a topoconductor,

Major technological breakthroughs can, over time, create trillions in shareholder value. Quantum computing looks like one such possible opportunity, and Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI) might be a good way to gain exposure to it. Quantum computing involves creating machines that process data in an entirely different way than traditional computers.

There isn't yet a roadmap to show Microsoft can scale its chip to the million topological qubits required to make a working quantum computer.

As the US, China accelerate quantum innovation, Korea struggles with talent shortages, investment gaps On Feb. 19, Microsoft announced a major breakthrough in the nascent quantum computing sector, unveiling Majorana 1,

Discover how Microsoft’s quantum computing breakthroughs are transforming industries with the Majorana 1 chip and topological qubits.

Here is a closer look at Microsoft’s Majorana 1 chip and how it marks a notable development in quantum computing.

Microsoft, Amazon, and Google each announced new prototypes of quantum computing chips, but scientists say that the field is still evolving.

Innovation is pouring out of the big technology companies. From hand-controlled augmented reality glasses at Meta Platforms, self-driving car commercialization at Alphabet, and robot-controlled warehouses at Amazon,
