Microsoft has made progress with topological qubits, but they’re still far from a full-scale quantum computer.

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,

The opportunity for Microsoft to leverage its leadership in cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI) with new enterprise-scale quantum solutions highlights a significant long-term growth potential. Here are three reasons I believe Microsoft is the new king of quantum computing.
