Microsoft announces a breakthrough in quantum computing with a new chip that could lead to commercially viable quantum computers within a few years. The Majorana 1 chip, based on a new state of matter, utilizes Majorana fermions, theoretical particles previously elusive to scientists, for calculations. This advancement has the potential to revolutionize fields like medicine and materials science by enabling the simulation of complex molecular interactions.
Microsoft has announced a breakthrough it says could lead to a commercially useful quantum computer, more powerful than all the world’s computers combined, in a few years rather than decades.
Microsoft’s new quantum chip is based on a new state of matter and a particle that previously only existed in theory.“These calculations are so complicated that if a classical computer was as big as this entire planet, it would still not be able to compute it,” Microsoft’s corporate vice president of quantum Zulfi Alam said.The new chip, called Majorana 1, generates a new state of matter needed to control a mysterious, once-theoretical particle for calculations, the company said.
“The Majorana particle is the name that we give to this dislocated quantum qubit that resides not in one end of a wire or the other, but is somehow pulled apart and spread across both ends,” he said.
