Microsoft, quantum computing and Majorana 1

Microsoft's Majorana moment in question: Breakthrough or boy who cried quantum?
Microsoft's recent announcement of the Majorana 1 quantum processor, a topological qubit-wielding breakthrough so bold it's designed on physics that aren't fully established yet, has come under scrutiny — and it may only have itself to blame.
Microsoft's quantum chip Majorana 1 is a few qubits short
There isn't yet a roadmap to show Microsoft can scale its chip to the million topological qubits required to make a working quantum computer.
Majorana 1: Can It Cement Microsoft's Place in Quantum Computing?
Google's parent company, announced its new quantum computing chip. This started a frenzy of trading in pure-play quantum computing stocks like Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI) and D-Wave (NYSE: QBTS).
Microsoft announces quantum computing breakthrough with new Majorana 1 chip
Microsoft has outlined its research in a peer-reviewed paper published today in Nature, explaining how its researchers were able to create the topological qubit. Microsoft has helped create a new material made from indium arsenide and aluminum, and it has placed eight topological qubits on a chip that it hopes can eventually scale to 1 million.
