Microsoft Lets Ad Industry Know Quantum Isnt Just A Google Thing [Video]

Microsoft this week released information on its Majorana 1 chip — the first processor based on an experimental technology — which the company believes will drive a new path for quantum computing. 

The chip is powered by a new Topological Core architecture that Microsoft engineers expect will realize quantum computers capable of solving meaningful, industrial-scale problems in years, not decades.

This is part of Microsoft’s longest-running research project. The company took a subatomic particle that has only been theorized until now to create a new material and architecture for quantum computing. 

Microsoft said it combines science and art to solve previously unsolvable problems. With AI becoming so much a part of the advertising industry, quantum computing will become a necessary technology because of the speed and quantity of data being collected, analyzed, processed and used.

Its quantum chip leverages the world’s first topoconductor, a type of material that can observe …
