Topological Quantum Computer

Microsoft Says It Has Created a New State of Matter to Power Quantum Computers

How topology helps (and what it is)

Moth, a startup bringing quantum technology games, has hired prominent researcher James Wootton as its first chief science officer.

Google Quantum AI has observed non-Abelian anyons for the first time, a breakthrough that could revolutionize quantum computing by making it more robust to noise and leading to topological quantum computation. Our intuition tells us that it should be impossible to see whether two identical object

Exotic particles called nonabelions could fix quantum computers' error problem

Everything you ever wanted to know about qubits, superpositioning, and spooky action at a distance.

Scientists have shown how three vortices can be linked in a way that prevents them from being dismantled. The structure of the links resembles a pattern used by Vikings and other ancient cultures, although this study focused on vortices in a special form of matter known as a Bose-Einstein condensate. The findings have implications for quantum computing, particle physics and other fields.

Quantum computing promises to help us solve some of humanity's greatest challenges. Yet as an industry, we are still in the early days of discovering what's possible. Today's quantum computers are enabling researchers to do interesting work. However, these researchers often find themselves limited by the inadequate scale of these systems and are eager to […]

Amazon said its prototype chip, Ocelot, can reduce error correction costs by up to 90%

Microsoft scientists have created a quantum processor that taps into a rare state of matter that was first theorized in the 1930s, paving the way for a processor with a million qubits within years.

An international team of researchers has discovered that a novel form of heterostructure made up of layered two-dimensional (2D) materials could help overcome the major obstacles to the widespread use of quantum computing. The study, which was published in the journal Nature Materials, was conduc

Via large-scale simulations on supercomputers, a research team from the Department of Physics, the University of Hong Kong (HKU), discovered clear evidence to characterize a highly entangled quantum matter phase—the quantum spin liquid (QSL), a phase of matter that remains disordered even at very low temperatures. This research has recently been published in npj Quantum Materials.

Stephen Hawking once suggested Albert Einstein's assertion that "God does not play dice" with the universe was wrong. In Hawking's view, the discovery of black hole physics confirmed ...

Microsoft says it has made a big leap in the race for quantum computing

Microsoft is taking the road less traveled, hoping it will make all the difference.

Useful quantum networks are hobbled by the problem of decoherence from environmental "noise." But a new breakthrough could change that.

There isn't yet a roadmap to show Microsoft can scale its chip to the million topological qubits required to make a working quantum computer.

Microsoft has worked on the new state of matter for almost two decades
