Microsoft is taking a different approach to quantum computing by trying to develop a topological qubit, which has the ability to store information in multiple places at once. Topological qubits ...

The new quantum processing unit (QPU), called "Majorana 1," is an eight-qubit prototype chip built from the first material of its kind in the world — a topological conductor, or topoconductor.

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at QuTech in Delft have combined superconductors and quantum dots to observe and manipulate so-called Majorana ...

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 ...
