Microsoft's approach to scalable quantum computer involves the designing qubits using a novel material called topological superconductor.

Microsoft says it's made a major breakthrough in quantum computing capabilities with the Majorana 1, its first quantum chip, and the first of its kind to be powered by what are called topological qubits.

Majorana 1 relies on ‘topological superconductivity,’ a never-before-seen theoretical form of matter.
