Microsoft Corporation has announced a significant breakthrough in quantum computing, introducing a new technology based on the so — called "topowires" - a fundamentally new quantum state. This achievement could be a key step towards creating quantum computers capable of solving problems that are beyond the reach of even the most powerful modern supercomputers.
Development has been going on for more than two decades, and now Microsoft says it can fit a million qubits on a single chip the size of a human palm. If this technology is successfully implemented, the emergence of full-fledged quantum computing systems may occur within the next 25-40 years.
The company's innovative approach not only expands the boundaries of modern computing, but also solves the problem of excessive heating of devices, ensuring stable operation of systems even when performing complex calculations. This breakthrough can change not only the field of high technologies, but also fundamental ideas about the capabilities of computers.
