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 ...

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

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 ...

They say one qubit’s behavior, regardless of its starting position, forms a predictable geometric idea. This research is not yet peer reviewed, and is in a shorter format referred to as a letter.

From a New Mexico startup to the "lost decade" and now an admired prominence, Microsoft put the Seattle region on the Big Tech map, Jon Talton writes.

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 ...
