Microsoft has unveiled a new chip called Majorrana 1 which will potentially enable the construction of quantum computers to solve problems on meaningful, industrial-mammana, not decades’.
In a blog post, Chetan Nayak Technical Fellow and Corporate VP of Quantum Hardware, Microsoft said: Majorna 1 marks a transformative learn towards a practical quantum computing. Quantum promises to change computer science and society – but only after achieving the scale that seemed away and elusive, and their credibility is ensured by quantum error correction. Today, we are announcing a rapid progress on the route operated by a topological core for the world’s first quantum processing unit (QPU), the useful quantum computing Majorna 1, the world’s first quantum processing unit (QPU), designed for a million Quality on the same chip. . ,
It was two decades in development and as Satya Nadella, CEO Microsoft said in a post on X: “… We have created a completely new situation, which was unlocked by a new class of materials, topkonductors Is, which enables a fundamental leap in computing. ,
What is quantum computing and it is different from the computing we know today?
The current, or classical computing is based on the binary system, where information can be taken at the value of the bits, 0 or 1 of the bits. All information is stored and read as a sequence of 0S and 1s. A position of 0 is closed (or wrong), and 1 has a position (or truth).
Conversely, quantum bits or Qubetes can have several values or states between 0 and 1, making them capable of storing different types of information simultaneously. Superpocation and entangles quantum objects have two fundamental properties. The ability to manipulate these properties is one that makes quantum computing originally different from classical computing.
Classical computing is the backbone of modern society, which is giving us internet, digital banking, e-commerce, social networking and so on. It sent men to the moon, put robots on Mars, for the automation of factories and in our pocket. However, many of the world’s biggest challenges (such as climate change) and mysteries (development of environmentally friendly content) are beyond the understanding of classical computers. To speed up and continue the speed of progress, we need to increase the classical approach with a new platform. This platform is capable of quantum computer capabilities.

What can you do with a quantum computer?
In today’s computers, an algorithm usually requires a lot of parallel components, which are taking time. But quantum computing will take into account several options simultaneously and execute an algorithm on all options at the same stage. This will bring exponential calculation power, resulting in enhancing the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) model, improving financial modeling, accelerating new drugs, improving weather forecasts, material research and so on.
What is Microsoft’s approach for quantum computing?
The path of Microsoft for the manufacture of a quantum computer depends on being able to create a ‘Topoconductor’ or topological conductor. It uses a newly developed material, called a new position (addition to solid, liquid or gas) called ‘topological state’, which was not relatively recently not only present in theory. In particular, it depends on the so -called majorna particles. Majorna particles are fictional particles that were predicted in 1937 by Italian physicist Ator Majrana. Such particles can be used to make quantum computers as they make for stable quantum bits.
IBM, Google has announced successes in quantum computing in recent years. So, what is the importance of the declaration of Microsoft?
The new chip of Microsoft has shown that quantum computing is ‘year, not for decades,’ and it has been involved in recent efforts by Google and IBM, which has been predicted that a fundamental change in computing technology Very close, as much as it is believed. In 2024, Google revealed its quantum chip and stated that the commercial quantum computing application is only five years away. IBM has said that large -scale quantum computers will be online by 2033. Microsoft’s Majorna 1 brings us closer to the possibility of practical use of quantum computers, completely overhaling computing we know it today.
