Microsoft chose to pursue topological qubits nearly 20 years ago, believing they would offer more stable qubits requiring less error correction – and this approach required creating Majorana particles, which do not exist in nature and can only be produced using magnetic fields and superconductors.
“ The qubits created with topoconductors are faster, more reliable and smaller. They are 1 / 100th of a millimeter, meaning we now have a clear path to a million-qubit processor,” says Satya.
“ Imagine a chip that can fit in the palm of your hand yet is capable of solving problems that even all the computers on Earth today combined could not!”
DARPA selects Microsoft for quantum computing programme The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency( DARPA), which invests in technologies relevant to national security, has selected Microsoft as
MATTHIAS TROYER
TITLE: CORPORATE VP COMPANY: MICROSOFT
Matthias Troyer, Corporate Vice President at Microsoft Quantum, is a renowned Austrian physicist specialising in quantum computing. He played an instrumental role in the development of Microsoft’ s Majorana 1 chip, leveraging topological qubits to create scalable, error-resistant quantum systems,
one of two companies to progress to the final phase of its Underexplored Systems for Utility-Scale Quantum Computing programme.
The programme forms part of DARPA’ s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative, which aims to deliver a fault-tolerant quantum computer whose computational value exceeds its costs.
