Imagine the tiniest game of checkers in the world—one played by using lasers to precisely shuffle around ions across a very small grid. That’s the idea behind a recent study published in the journal ...

Microsoft unveiled a quantum-computing chip powered by exotic particles with unique properties. While the chip is just the first step on a long road to useful quantum computing, Microsoft's unique ...

Microsoft announced its latest breakthrough, Majorana 1, the world’s first quantum chip powered by a new Topological Core architecture. The company expects it will realize quantum computers capable of ...

There's a thermal noise problem in quantum computing, and it comes from an unlikely source: the wiring used to interface with the qubits. You see, electrical signals traveling across wire generate ...

There's a type of particle called a Majorana fermion that was hypothesized in 1937. This particle has some unique properties, and it's long been theorized that Majorana particles could prove useful ...
