Several physicists say the lack of a peer-reviewed, detailed paper on Microsoft's work undermines its claims. The tech community is also skeptical.

Analysis pokes holes in protocol that underpins Microsoft’s claim to have created the first topological qubits.

Microsoft has introduced Majorana 1, a quantum chip with a "Topological Core" architecture, potentially enabling powerful quantum computers within years instead of decades. The breakthrough stems from a newly developed material called a topoconductor,

Major technological breakthroughs can, over time, create trillions in shareholder value. Quantum computing looks like one such possible opportunity, and Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI) might be a good way to gain exposure to it. Quantum computing involves creating machines that process data in an entirely different way than traditional computers.

From hand-controlled augmented reality glasses at Meta Platforms, self-driving car commercialization at Alphabet, and robot-controlled warehouses at Amazon, these companies keep extending their technological superiority over the competition,

With recent announcements of new quantum computing advancements, Microsoft, Amazon and Google have set a new countdown clock ticking on today’s encryption — now an even shorter race than expected.

Researchers have criticised Microsoft's new Majorana 1 quantum computer, saying it has made claims about the way it works that aren't fully backed up by scientific evidence
