The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
Microsoft Majorana 1 is a quantum computing chip developed by Microsoft that aims to realize topological qubits based on Majorana zero modes, a theorized quasiparticle state engineered in specially fabricated semiconductor-superconductor nanowire materials, intended to make quantum bits more resistant to the noise and decoherence that limit other qubit designs.
