Majorana 1, the world’s first Quantum Processing Unit (QPU) powered by a Topological Core designed to scale to a million qubits on a single chip, and built with a breakthrough class of materials called a topoconductor, marks a transformative leap toward practical quantum computing.
Today marks an important moment on our path to engineering a quantum supercomputer and empowering scientists to solve many of the hardest problems facing our planet.
Today, Microsoft is making available a new, extensive set of experimental data and simulations of our quantum devices.
Since last year’s American Physical Society (APS) March Meeting was cancelled due to the pandemic, I’ve been looking forward to my yearly fill of meeting old friends and former students, and hearing the latest results in areas that I haven’t been following closely. It won’t be quite the same in this year’s digital format, but I’m still looking forward to it.
Medal, to be awarded by the Queen of Denmark, recognizes outstanding original scientific work in physics or chemistry The Danish Society for the Dissemination of Natural Science has announced that Charlie Marcus, the Director of the Microsoft Quantum Lab in Copenhagen and Villum Kann Rasmussen Professor at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen, is being awarded the H.C. Ørsted Gold Medal.
In a paper published this week in Nature Physics, a team of researchers from Microsoft and Copenhagen University demonstrated a novel heterostructure with remarkable properties. A heterostructure is, roughly, a device formed out of a sandwich between different solid materials.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced today the creation of several multidisciplinary Quantum Information Science Research Centers in support of the National Quantum Initiative. Today marks one of the U.S. government’s largest investments in this field.
