Microsoft says its quantum chip is less prone to errors than rivals Chip is a hybrid between semiconductors and superconductors Microsoft says chip has fewer qubits than rivals but easier to scale up ...

Since the breakthrough discovery of the Majorana particle in 2012 in Delft, researchers faced great challenges. The group of professor Leo Kouwenhoven at QuTech and Microsoft collaborated with ...

Microsoft researchers have made a controversial claim that they have seen evidence of an elusive particle that could solve some of the biggest headaches in quantum computing, but some experts are ...

80 years ago, Majorana fermion with antiparticle being itself, was originally introduced as a putative elementary particle by Ettore Majorana. Exotic excitations with characteristics of Majorana ...

Physicists at Google Quantum AI have used their quantum computer to study a type of effective particle that is more resilient to environmental disturbances that can degrade quantum calculations. These ...

In the race to make quantum computers practical, scientists have found themselves drawn to some of the strangest ideas in physics. Few are stranger — but also more promising — than the notion of using ...
