Microsoft Says It’s Made a Major Quantum Computing Breakthrough With New Chip
The race to shape the future of computing is heating up tech companies, and Microsoft says it has done A major breakthrough in quantum computingpotentially pave the way for this technology to solve complex scientific and social challenges.
The tech giant’s scientists have spent 17 years developing a new material and quantum computing framework to help power its new Majorana 1 processor. Microsoft calls the advancement the world’s first quantum processor powered by a topological quantum platform, topological quantum (the basic unit of quantum computing). The company publishes its latest research in the Journal nature.
Unlike traditional computers, Quantum computer Can process large amounts of data simultaneously to revolutionize science, medicine, energy and AI. However, quantum computing is prone to errors because of the instability of qubits.
But Microsoft says it’s the new Tototo type – new materials made of Eisenny (semiconductor) and aluminum (superconductors) can perform tasks with higher speed and accuracy than traditional quantum devices. The Majorana 1 chip is designed to expand up to 1 million tons on a compact chip.
The news came, several technology companies competed to advance quantum computing. In December, Google launches its latest quantum computing chip Called Willow, it claims it can complete complex computing challenges in 5 minutes, which will bring one of today’s fastest supercomputers over 10 billion years.
Microsoft says it is the pace of building the world’s first tolerant, scalable quantum computer in years, not decades. This work is part of the U.S. Government’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) initiative Practical quantum computing in the real world.
