“We are reasonable people. When we think that we can have surgery in the garage - for God's sake, this is not the state's business, it is not the business of public money to be splashed on these ...

Microsoft’s new “topological qubit” is not based on a solid, liquid or gas. It is another phase of matter that many experts ...

Microsoft and UC Santa Barbara researchers have unveiled an eight-qubit topological quantum processor, marking a major step ...

Microsoft's Majorana 1 processor uses topological superconductivity to potentially scale quantum computing to 1 million ...

Intriguingly, Microsoft essentially created a new state of matter--not liquid, solid, gas, or plasma, but a topological superconductor--to make this happen. The Majorana 1 takes its name from the ...

For a field that many have long considered decades away, quantum computing sure is getting a lot of buzz in Silicon Valley.

Microsoft has managed to achieve something of the same caliber in 2025 by creating a new state of matter. Earlier today, the tech giant introduced Majorana 1, the world’s first quantum computing ...

Good Thing to Remember: Kings die! Archaeologists just discovered a new pharaoh tomb. It's the first pharaoh tomb anyone's ...

Microsoft says its researchers have created a new quantum computer processor that relies on a never-before-seen state of matter. The technological leap—called Majorana 1—represents a major ...
