Microsoft Announces New Quantum Chip 'Majorana 1' to Eliminate Quantum Computing Errors

Microsoft has announced a new quantum chip, 'Majorana 1,' designed to eliminate errors in quantum computing. This chip uses topological qubits, employing indium arsenide cooled to extremely low temperatures to create a superconductor capable of containing 'Majorana fermions.' Microsoft's chip aims to be smaller and more reliable than Google's 'Willow' quantum supercomputer, which can perform calculations in 5 minutes that would take a modern supercomputer 10 septillion years.
