Microsoft introduced a new chip that will accelerate the arrival of the era of quantum calculations

The new Microsoft chip was called Majorana 1, it was created using a “revolutionary” material class: the main drivers. Its use allows you to achieve topological superconductivity, a fundamentally new state of matter. Previously, this condition, different from the liquid, gaseous and solid, existed, existed only in theory.

The new matter allows you to develop quantum systems that fit the chip the size of a smaller palm, according to the article published in the Nature magazine.

The theoretical physics professor of Royal College of London, George Butu, said that the study is an “impressive technical achievement”, whose importance will be clear only in retrospective. “It is the declaration on” years “is accurate [до начала полноценного развития квантовых компьютеров]It remains to be discovered, ”said The Guardian Bout.

Theme conductors will allow you to create scalled quantum systems up to one million cubes (the smallest information unit on a quantum computer similar to the units and zeros in the binary accounts system – approx. Ed.). This, in turn, will help develop powerful computers based on quantum mechanics that can solve the most difficult industrial and social problems, for example, in Microsoft.

“What today requires billions of dollars to exhaust experimental searches and laboratory experiments can be found using calculations on a quantum computer,” said the company, adding that we are talking about innovations such as, for example, the materials of Self -food construction capable of filling cracks on bridges.

Previously, on December 10, Google carried out an advance in Quantum Technologies, introduced the new Willow Chip. The quantum computer that equipped in five minutes solved a mathematical task, in which the most powerful supercomputers would spend more than 10 selectillions, more than the age of the universe.
