Controversy erupts over claims Microsoft invented a new state of matter This discovery could change the computing world entirely. But many are skeptical of their claims ...

Majorana 1 relies on ‘topological superconductivity,’ a never-before-seen theoretical form of matter.

Microsoft unveiled a quantum chip known as Majorana 1, created with an entirely new state of matter that's beyond solid, liquid and gas.

Microsoft claims that building its first quantum-computing chip required that it create a new state of matter, which it is referring to as a topological state.

Microsoft’s new “topological qubit” is not based on a solid, liquid or gas. It is another phase of matter that many experts did not think was possible.
