Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
Microsoft Majorana 2 is a topological quantum computing chip built on topoconductor materials engineered to host Majorana zero modes, quasiparticles whose non-local encoding is designed to protect qubit information from local noise at the hardware level rather than relying on software-based error correction alone.
