Colder than Deep Space: Microsoft's new quantum chip works in extreme cold

COLDER THAN DEEP SPACE: MICROSOFT’S NEW QUANTUM CHIP NEEDS EXTREME ICE TO WORK
Majorana 1 is a new quantum chip from Microsoft. It uses special “Majorana particles” to make qubits—tiny computing pieces—that don’t break easily. Unlike regular computers (0 or 1), quantum ones do tons of math fast, and this chip could grow to solve huge problems like new drugs etc.
.
Microsoft’s “Majorana 1” chip has to be chilled to 50 millikelvin (10 times colder than interstellar space) just to function.
.
Instead of electrons, it uses strange particles called Majoranas to store up to a million qubits in a single chip.
That kind of power could make today’s supercomputers look like clunky calculators.
It might reshape AI, science, and every field that needs serious brainpower.
