Microsoft has introduced Majorana 1, a quantum chip with a "Topological Core" architecture, potentially enabling powerful quantum computers within years instead of decades. The breakthrough stems from a newly developed material called a topoconductor,

Microsoft is claiming to have created a topological qubit—something engineers have been trying to achieve for years.

In a surprising and unpredictable development, Microsoft (MSFT) has unveiled its first quantum computing chip, Majorana 1. This chip, featuring
