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 ...

The draw — and pushback — of topological qubits Quantum computers promise to unlock new types of calculations, but only if they can be made reliable. The idea of building a qubit that is ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 This research is not yet peer reviewed, and is in a shorter format referred to as a letter.

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 ...
