Nadella unveils Microsoft’s quantum breakthrough: Majorana 1 explained

Microsoft has unveiled Majorana 1, a groundbreaking quantum processing unit (QPU) built on a new class of materials called topoconductors. This development marks a major leap toward practical quantum computing, according to CEO Satya Nadella.

He described this breakthrough as the creation of a “new state of matter”, enabling quantum bits (qubits) that are smaller, faster, and more stable than ever before. The implications of this advance are vast, potentially reducing the timeline for useful quantum computing from decades to just a few years.
