Microsoft's Majorana 1 quantum chip

Announcing a breakthrough in quantum computing

Scalable

Designed to enable useful quantum computing

Stable

Resistant to errors at the hardware level

Small

More than 1 million can fit on one chip

Fast

Less than 1 microsecond per operation

Controllable

Voltage pulses provide precise digital control

Simplicity drives scale

Our quantum hardware pioneers measurement-only quantum computing—a fundamentally simpler way to control quantum information. This approach, validated in Nature, is built into our design and aims to enable reliable quantum systems at scale. 

The Majorana 1 chip

1 million qubits. 1 chip.

Powered by a Topological Core, our processor is designed to scale to a million qubits—enough computing power to tackle humanity's toughest challenges in energy, medicine, and beyond.

Years, not decades

Our revolutionary class of materials could accelerate the path to meaningful quantum computing.
