Microsoft has created a new quantum computer processor that relies on a never-before-seen state of matter.

Called Majorana 1 , the processor is based on the “world’s first topoconductor,” using the Majorana particle first described in 1937 by theoretical physicist Ettore Majorana .

Microsoft researchers are pinning their hopes that further fine-tuning will yield more reliable and scalable topoconductors that ultimately form the basis of quantum computers.
