Part 4/12:
At the heart of Microsoft’s innovation is the introduction of topological qubits, a type of qubit designed to minimize the need for extensive error correction. The company has developed a special material known as a topo conductor, which facilitates the creation of exotic particles called Majorana zero modes (MZMs). These particles are uniquely capable of shielding quantum information from external interference, effectively addressing one of the most pressing concerns in quantum computing—qubit stability.
