Microsoft has said that a new state of the issue has succeeded in creating the main building blocks of Quantum PC, which is a struggle for 20 years of physics, which have left work as a disability in the quantum world.

US tech giant said that it believes that the development will allow you to build practical quantum The computer is up to the end of the decade and ultimately lose weight to others.

The claim adds a new turn to the race to create a new form of advanced calculations, which is compiled for the struggle for technological management between the United States and China.

The required breakthrough of Microsoft is following a type of research years, which contains fourth condition of the case, differs from solids, liquids and gases. The presence of particles known as Majorana Fermions, was first seen in 1937, although scientists struggle to show that they actually exist.

Microsoft: Eight years ago, the head of Sati Nadela said that his work on technology has set up a quantum of revolution. But until 2022, the company’s scientists were even able to record the consequences that, according to them, according to them.

The US-technology group has set its bet on theoretical particles, after deciding, they offered the best way to overcome the biggest obstacle to building a practical quantum machine. The bits in the traditional computer present it or zero, the accumulations used in the quantum computers can immediately present it as another state.

However, only their quantum states are kept in small fractions of QUBIT, which means that any information they keep is lost quickly. Quantum Computers will require many additional accumulations to operate the software required for errors to correct the software to correct the software needed.

For comparison, the so-called Topological Cupits Microsoft tries to make the use of Majorana particles more resistant to error. The information is conducted throughout the queue, given that even if the parts fail, the deplorable of the topology should keep enough information, to make it useful, the Professor of Physics of Maryland University.

This larger stability means that Microsoft is likely to have only 100 additional cuppes, to correct mistakes, fully operational Vibita, said Jason Weapons of Strategic Missions and Technology. This is about one tenth, as necessary in the necessary cars, the shots of which are based on other materials.

The latest data issued by Microsoft, including on Wednesday, presented significant progress, creating a creative topology, said DAS SARMA. However, he said that there is still a small chance that the company’s disclosures can be explained by other than successful use of evasive particles.

Microsoft’s long-term research efforts have been affected by problems to produce and controlling components. The company has published joint research in 2018. Take the newspaper after accepting data inconsistencies.

Speaking before the last announcement, the quantum calculated one long investor compared its ambitious research to the cold merging efforts to produce a nuclear reaction for scientific overload.

It also comes from NVIDIA CEO only weeks of Jensen Huang 20 years away – much longer than companies working in the field.

The US Defense Department agency is accused of developing leading technologies in the United States.

The US operating Psiquantum, the only other company selected by DARPA, uses photos based on photons, and $ 620 million was registered in Australia last year.

Along with recent research and data, Microsoft has stated that it has built the first processor using technology.

Called Majorana 1, the chip is based on eight etymic cubs. The small size of each component meant that it would eventually be able to squeeze up to 1 million on each chip, creating a full quantum computer, reports.
