Explainer: Understanding Microsoft’s Majorana 1 and the future of quantum computing
Microsoft’s Majorana 1 chip employs advanced topological qubits that shield quantum information from disturbances and reduce errors, offering a promising path toward scalable, reliable quantum computing.
Microsoft’s New Majorana 1 Processor Could Transform Quantum Computing
The processor uses qubits that can be measured without error and are resistant to outside interference, which the company says marks a “transformative leap toward practical quantum computing.”
Microsoft shows off novel quantum chip that can scale to 'a million qubits'. So far: Eight
Not just a matter of time but a matter of Majorana fermions, too Microsoft says it has developed a quantum-computing chip made with novel materials that is expected to enable the development of quantum computers for meaningful,

A new Microsoft chip could lead to more stable quantum computers
Microsoft has long been working on an alternative that could cut down on the overhead by using components that are far more stable. These components, called Majorana quasiparticles, are not real particles. Instead, they are special patterns of behavior that may arise inside certain physical systems and under certain conditions.
Microsoft's Majorana 1 breaks the quantum computing barrier — and my brain
It seems like only last week that the most complex computing mysteries in my life were which emojis will remain socially acceptable in 2025 and how to decipher the Windings font. However, Microsoft has well and truly thrown a wrench into the works after announcing its Majorana 1 quantum computing chip on Wednesday.
Microsoft says it has created a new state of matter to power quantum computers
Anyone who has sat through a third-grade science class knows there are three primary states of matter: solid, liquid and gas.
