A logo of Microsoft is displayed. (Dita Alangkara/AP) Microsoft has debuted an experimental new computer chip which it claims utilizes a new state of matter for quantum computing.

There isn't yet a roadmap to show Microsoft can scale its chip to the million topological qubits required to make a working quantum computer.

While the Microsoft press release shows off something that is supposed to be quantum computing hardware, we don’t have any independent confirmation of what it can do.

Microsoft started going down this road nearly 20 years ago, and that research has now yielded what looks like a significant quantum-computing breakthrough.

Microsoft's Majorana 1 chip, powered by Topological Core architecture, aims to revolutionize quantum computing with scalable qubits.

Microsoft claims that building its first quantum-computing chip required that it create a new state of matter, which it is referring to as a topological state.
