CYBER SECURITY
Furthermore, the chip’ s measurement approach can detect the difference between one billion and one billion and one electrons in a superconducting wire to determine the qubit’ s state – and the measurements use voltage pulses rather than requiring fine-tuning for each qubit.
The architecture uses aluminium nanowires arranged in H-shapes, with each H containing four controllable Majoranas that form one qubit and these can be connected and arranged across the chip.
WHAT IS TOPOLOGICAL CORE?
Topological Core is a novel quantum computing architecture in Microsoft’ s Majorana 1 chip that uses topoconductors to create more stable qubits based on Majorana particles.
How is Majorana 1 questioning the laws of physics? After nearly two decades of research, Microsoft has created Majorana particles in their chip.
These particles, which do not exist naturally, form the basis of topological qubits, offering enhanced stability and reduced error correction needs in quantum computing.
What’ s unique about Majorana 1? It is capable of solving problems that even all the computers on Earth today combined could not.
