A critique published in Nature<\/em><\/a> Wednesday calls the basic technology behind Microsoft’s \u00ab\u00a0breakthrough\u00a0\u00bb quantum computing chip the Majorana 1 into question. Microsoft unveiled the chip in February 2025 and said it featured a brand-new technology known as a topological qubit. Topological qubits, they said, would be the \u00ab\u00a0building blocks\u00a0\u00bb for their future quantum computer. Microsoft announced the next generation chip Majorana 2<\/a> at Build earlier this month. <\/p>\n

But in a peer-reviewed article, Henry Legg, a physicist at the University of St Andrews, reanalyzed Microsoft’s data on their device and argued that the company’s researchers did not conclusi \u2026<\/p>\n
