Unlocking a scaled quantum supercomputer

Unique

Microsoft is engineering a brand-new qubit with inherent stability at the hardware level.

Small

With qubits that will be less than 10 microns on a side, more than one million can fit on a single chip, enabling a single-module machine of practical size.

Fast

Each qubit operation will take less than one microsecond. This means problems can be solved in weeks rather than decades or centuries.

Controllable

Our qubits will be controlled by digital voltage pulses to ensure that a machine with millions of qubits won't have an excessive error rate.

The path to
a quantum supercomputer

Microsoft has developed devices that can create quantum properties which scientists have only imagined — until now.

8 billion reasons to build
a quantum supercomputer

Microsoft is engineering a quantum supercomputer that will enable the world to tackle problems like reversing climate change and improving food security.

Physics breakthrough

Microsoft has engineered devices that enable creation and control of a topological phase, thus creating Majorana Zero Modes.

The future of the topological qubit

Dr. Chetan Nayak also discusses the physics behind the topological qubit. 

The map of topological quantum computing

Dr. Dominic Walliman takes a tour of the Microsoft quantum labs and explains the concepts behind topological quantum computing.

We're building a quantum supercomputer

We have a clear path ahead of us, starting with our historic breakthrough achievement of creating and controlling Majoranas, to ultimately engineering a full-stack, fault-tolerant quantum machine.
