Microsoft claims quantum-computing breakthrough — but some physicists are sceptical
The tech giant aims to make ‘topological’ quantum computers that will reach useful scales faster than competing technologies.
Microsoft Says It's Made a Major Quantum Computing Breakthrough With New Chip
Its Majorana 1 chip, made of a new material, can perform high-level computing tasks with greater speed and accuracy, Microsoft says.
Microsoft’s quantum computing breakthrough questioned by experts: ‘No publicly available evidence that this test has been conducted successfully’
Leading theoretical physicist, John Preskill, said Microsoft had yet to release any performance data to back up its claim.
Powerful quantum computers in years not decades, says Microsoft
Microsoft has unveiled a new chip called Majorana 1 that it says will enable the creation of quantum computers able to solve "meaningful, industrial-scale problems in years, not decades". It is the latest development in quantum computing - tech which uses principles of particle physics to create a new type of computer able to solve problems ordinary computers cannot.
Microsoft quantum breakthrough promises to usher in the next era of computing in ‘years, not decades’
Microsoft says it has developed a breakthrough quantum processor based on a new state of matter, giving it a clear path to achieve quantum computing’s long-term promise of solving some of the world’s most difficult problems.
Microsoft unveils quantum computing breakthrough
Microsoft said Wednesday it has developed a computer chip based on a new "topological" state of matter — not solid, liquid or gas — that it expects will underpin exponentially faster and more powerful quantum computers "within years,
