How Could They Achieve It? The Arrival of an Innovative Breakthrough in Quantum Computing
Two weeks ago, I highlighted the major challenges currently faced in implementing quantum computing using the topological theory approach.
I also provided an introduction to Topological Quantum Computing (TQC). TQC is a quantum computing approach that utilizes quasiparticles, anyons, relying on their two-dimensional properties and the formation of a braid in a three-dimensional field.
According to an article by Quantum Zeitgeist, achieving the physical implementation of T-qubits (Topological Quantum Computing) requires the creation of exotic quasiparticles known as Majorana zero modes.
As I previously stated, Microsoft, the pioneer of Topological Quantum Computing, has achieved a major breakthrough by developing the first quantum chip, Majorana 1 Chip, which is implemented using a topological core.
In a press release, Microsoft described Majorana 1 as:
"the world’s first quantum chip powered by a new topological core architecture that it expects will realize quantum computers capable of solving meaningful, industrial-scale problems in years, not decades."
The design and innovation of this chip are built on a new class of materials, which I previously referenced as one of the challenges in T-qubit design. This breakthrough highlights the need for new materials, yet 微软 has defied the odds, demonstrating its pioneering and innovative leadership over the years.
I encourage everyone to explore this groundbreaking advancement in quantum computing—what the future holds and how we are preparing for it.
Check out my latest release for the full details on this historic development of the world’s first T-qubit chip, Majorana 1.
