The American Corporation Microsoft presented Majorana 1 - the world's first quantum processor with a topological nucleus. The new chip opens up to create more stable Kubits and is an important step in the development of quantum calculations. About it reports The Verge .
The main problem of modern quantum computers is the sensitivity of cubes to noise, which causes significant number of errors. Microsoft has developed a unique material - "topochproductor", which allows you to control the marjournal particles. This can potentially hold a million kubits on one chip.
Majorana 1 is built on the basis of topocode products - a new class of materials that allow you to achieve topological superconductivity. It is a new state of matter that has previously existed only in theory. Its creation was made possible by the combination of Arsenide India (semiconductor) and aluminum (superconductor). When cooled to temperatures close to absolute zero, and the use of magnetic fields, these materials form topological superconducting nannies.
New technology allows you to store information in topological cubes, which are much more stable than other existing types. The high instability of the Kubits was the main obstacle to the development of quantum computers. Microsoft believes that its approach can be the basis for low -level quantum calculations.
The company plans to create almost a useful quantum computer by the end of the decade.
Today, quantum technologies are used mainly for research purposes, but in the future they can significantly accelerate data processing and find use in medicine, materials science and other fields.
