Quantum Confusion Keeps Coming with Qubits Schrödinger’s cat is scratching its head over the “topological” qubit that is causing a buzz in quantum computing. We should be, too ...

Since Microsoft’s Majorana 1 quantum computing news, some members of the scientific community have raised questions about the validity of the tech giant’s claims. Here’s why.

Creating a topological qubit requires provoking electrons in a material to dance just-so. The electron collective behaves like a hypothetical, particle-ish thing: a quasiparticle known as a Majorana.

Microsoft has unveiled the Majorana 1, the world’s first quantum chip powered by a groundbreaking Topological Core architecture. This development marks a seismic shift in computing, promising ...

“As far as the press announcement that they have a topological qubit, I would say most scientists would dispute that,” Lee said. “They are far from having a working qubit.” ...
