Yes, the scientists are doing weird stuff again, and this weird stuff is sure to lead to other weird stuff and plenty of even more peculiar technology in the future. At least, that's usually my reading of anything quantum computing related, and that seems to be the general gist of Microsoft's new quantum chip announcement.
Microsoft says the new chip, the Microsoft Majorana 1, is "the world’s first quantum chip powered by a new Topological Core architecture" that it expects will "realize quantum computers capable of solving meaningful, industrial-scale problems in years, not decades.
