Microsoft’s new chip looks like science fiction…

Summary by Krater

This video examines Microsoft's announcement of the Majorana 1 quantum computing chip, which uses topological qubits based on Majorana fermions, and discusses whether it can overcome decoherence to scale up.

From the video

Answers: What is Microsoft's Majorana 1 quantum computing chip and how does it work?

• quantum computing
• Majorana 1 chip
• topological qubits
• Majorana fermions
• quantum decoherence

What it concludes

• Microsoft claims the Majorana 1 chip uses topological qubits that are highly resistant to decoherence.
• Microsoft has not yet scaled the chip up to millions of qubits in practice.
• Google and IBM are currently ahead in the quantum computing race, but Microsoft is pursuing a unique topological approach.
