It is the world's First quantum chip to be powered by new topological core architecture.
- It will revolutionize the development of quantum computers because it more stable and scalable quantum computing components.
About Majorana 1
- Uses the first-ever topoconductor ( (topological superconductor)
- A topoconductor is a special category of material that can create an entirely new state of matter – not a solid, liquid or gas but a topological state.
- Material is made from indium arsenide (a semiconductor) and aluminum (a superconductor).
- Uses a superconducting nanowire to observe the particles and can be controlled with standard computing equipment.
- Relies on a subatomic particle called the Majorana fermion
- Majorana fermion is a fermion that is both a particle and its antiparticle; its existence was first theorized in the 1930s
Why Majorana 1 is a Big Development?
- It requires fewer qubits (or quantum bit) than rival chips and also has error rates are lower compared to other rival chips like Google (Willow), IBM, etc.
- Qubit is the basic unit of information in quantum computing.
- Combining with AI can deliver transformative and real-world solutions such as breaking down microplastics into harmless byproducts, etc.
