Majorana qubits could be error resistant. But after a contentious talk at the Global Physics Summit, scientists aren’t convinced Microsoft has them.

Physicists at the University of Cologne have taken an important step forward in the pursuit of topological quantum computing by demonstrating the first-ever observation of Crossed Andreev ...

Imagine the tiniest game of checkers in the world—one played by using lasers to precisely shuffle around ions across a very small grid.

“And we didn’t expect to see so many either.” Among them are states that could be used to create what is known, theoretically at the moment, as a topological quantum computer. Topological quantum ...

Mathematician [Jean Michel Sellier] wanted to demonstrate this so he set up a Commodore 64 to study some concepts like simulating a quantum computer. The computer programs he’s written to do ...

Are quantum computers ... of knot on the basis of topological properties, and show that the method could be faster than those that run on ordinary, or ‘classical’, computers.

These zones are central to a relatively new interdisciplinary field focused on producing fault-tolerant topological quantum computing, or TQC. Researchers from Boston College and Hong Kong University ...

This innovative design leverages topological qubits ... Implications for the future of quantum computing Microsoft's introduction of Majorana 1 signifies a strategic leap toward practical quantum ...
