Microsoft unveils eight -qubit topological quantum processor, the first of its kind.

The chip was built as a proof-of-concept for the scientists' design.

Topological quantum computing promises more stability and robustness to error than other quantum computing systems.

The promise of quantum computing lies in the speed and power of its computations.

"There's a long history of expertise and talent at UCSB in these kinds of material combinations, and in this really cutting-edge materials science, that opens up new types of physics we can do."
