Microsoft Says Its Had a Breakthrough , in Quantum Computer System.
On March 14, Microsoft said it had created a circumstance in which it could sustain a "topological qubit," its version of a quantum bit.
The tech giant said its qubit will help lead to a "quantum computer that is expected to be more stable than machines built with other types of known qubits, and therefore scale like no other.".
Microsoft aims to create a million-qubit quantum computer, which experts say is required to solve large-scale problems not possible on current computers.
What’s amazing is humans have been able to engineer a system to demonstrate one of the most exotic pieces of physics in the universe.

And we expect to capitalize on this to do the almost unthinkable — to push towards a fault-tolerant quantum machine that will enable computation on an entirely new level that’s closer to the way nature operates, Krysta Svore, a Microsoft distinguished engineer who leads the company’s quantum software program, via Microsoft Stories, AI and Innovation.
It’s never been done before, and until now it was never certain that it could be done.
And now it’s like yes, here’s this ultimate validation that we’re on the right path, Krysta Svore, a Microsoft distinguished engineer who leads the company’s quantum software program, via Microsoft Stories, AI and Innovation.
The company plans to create a qubit with "built-in protection from environmental noise, which means it should take far fewer qubits to perform useful computation and correct errors.".
Figuring out how to feed the world or cure it of climate change will require discoveries or optimization of molecules that simply can’t be done by today’s classical computers, and that’s where the quantum machine kicks in, Zulfi Alam, Microsoft’s quantum corporate vice president, via Microsoft Stories, AI and Innovation.

There’s no fundamental obstacle to producing a topological qubit anymore.
This definitely doesn’t mean that we’re done — we still have tons of work to do.

But the fundamental part has been demonstrated, and now we’re on more of an engineering path and that’s what we’ll continue to pursue, Lauri Sainiemi, Microsoft’s general manager for fabrication, via Microsoft Stories, AI and Innovation
