In 2014, a theory showed that the electronic structure of iron-based superconductor has topological properties due to the multi-orbit characteristics under certain conditions, which is similar to the ...

(Nanowerk News) A new, multi-node FLEET review investigates the search for Majorana fermions in iron-based superconductors (Matter, "Majorana zero modes in iron-based superconductors"). The elusive ...

A physics experiment turned up no signs that the elusive particles called Majorana neutrinos exist, according to a new study published in Nature today, but that doesn’t mean it won’t lead to new ...

Microsoft researchers have made a controversial claim that they have seen evidence of an elusive particle that could solve some of the biggest headaches in quantum computing, but some experts are ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers and engineers from QuTech and Eindhoven University of Technology have created Majorana particles and measured their properties with great control. These Majoranas are ...

Microsoft is an outlier among the companies investing in quantum computing research. Unlike Google, IBM, or the handful of startups that have built noisy experimental prototypes out of superconducting ...
