Microsoft set out years ago to develop a topological qubit using Majorana quasiparticles—small and inherently stable, they make perfect candidates for quantum computers. This week, Microsoft ...

A quantum computer qubit that is much more stable than current qubit designs, which are very error prone. Based on the theory of Italian physicist Ettore Majorana in ...

Microsoft describes its scientific breakthrough — enabling the creation of the world’s first “topological” qubit — in a ...

In the field of quantum computing there is hope that topological qubits could help achieve a breakthrough in the development of a quantum computer designed for universal applications. This type of ...

With quipu, knots in a string represent a number. By analogy, a conventional qubit would be as if you used a string to form a 0 or 1 shape on a tabletop. A breeze or other “noise” would easily ...

He Qinglin’s group at the Center for Quantum Materials Science, School of Physics, has reported the first observation of non-reciprocal Coulomb drag in Chern insulators. This breakthrough opens new ...

Topological insulators (TI) that have an inverted bulk energy ... We recently realized a new solid-state qubit platform by trapping single electrons on an ultrapure solid neon surface in a vacuum and ...
