Microsoft announced Wednesday that it has invented an entirely new kind of quantum computer.
Its new quantum chip, Majorana 1, is a quantum processor analogous to transistors in classical computers' semiconductor chips and offers a path to million-qubit systems in a single relatively small quantum computing fridge.
Majorana 1, the world's first quantum chip powered by a new Topological Core architecture that it expects will realize quantum computers capable of solving meaningful, industrial-scale problems in years, not decades.
Majorana 1, Microsoft's quantum chip that contains both qubits as well as surrounding control electronics, can be held in the palm of one's hand and fits neatly into a quantum computer that can be easily deployed inside Azure datacenters.
