Majorana qubits could be error resistant. But after a contentious talk at the Global Physics Summit, scientists aren’t convinced Microsoft has them.

Microsoft set out years ago to develop a topological qubit using Majorana quasiparticles—small and inherently stable, they make perfect candidates for quantum computers. This week, Microsoft ...

A quantum computer qubit that is much more stable than current qubit designs, which are very error prone. Based on the theory of Italian physicist Ettore Majorana in ...

They say one qubit’s behavior, regardless of its starting position, forms a predictable geometric idea. This research is not yet peer reviewed, and is in a shorter format referred to as a letter.

I caught up with Nayak after his talk and asked him about the challenges of achieving Microsoft’s goal of a superconductor-based topological qubit. That conversation is the first segment of today’s ...

From a New Mexico startup to the "lost decade" and now an admired prominence, Microsoft put the Seattle region on the Big Tech map, Jon Talton writes.

Tuning a qubit using these longer chains should be less affected by gate noise." To achieve true topological protection, Bordin aims to make the Kitaev chains even longer: "Employing machine ...
