After 17 years of research, Microsoft has finally developed the Majorana 1 chip, its first quantum computing processor based on a brand new material and architecture, reports The Verge . At the heart of a quantum computer are quantum bits qubits, which handle data in a way similar to today’s binary bits but with significantly higher computational potential. Companies such as IBM, Microsoft, and Google have long tried to make qubits more stable, as they’re sensitive to disturbances...
