  • Quantum computers use qubits that can exist in superpositions and become entangled with one another, rather than classical bits.

  • The most advanced quantum computers currently have hundreds of interconnected qubits and make an error roughly once in every thousand operations.

  • Scientists hope for applications in molecular and materials simulations, complex optimization problems and analysis of encrypted data, but most remain years or decades away.

  • The article says a quantum computer running Shor’s code-breaking algorithm might require millions of qubits operating error-free indefinitely, while today’s systems mainly serve research and testing purposes.
  • "It seems to me we're just on the threshold of quantum systems doing genuinely new simulations that we can't do classically," says Glancy. "It might inspire a revolution in physics. In my opinion that is a good reason to build a quantum computer."— Scott Glancy, a physicist at NIST, quoted in the NIST article Quantum Computing Explained

  • Microsoft announced a topological quantum computer in February 2025, but a Nature peer-review note said the study had not definitively demonstrated Majorana zero modes.

  • Google unveiled its 105-qubit Willow chip in December 2024, after which Mark Zuckerberg voiced doubts and quantum-computing stocks fell.

  • Amazon announced the nine-qubit Ocelot chip at the end of February 2025, using a superconducting resonator and photon-controlled, error-tolerant cat qubits.

  • No clear winner has emerged among the competing technical approaches, and scaling them to about one million qubits remains uncertain.
  • The Majorana 1 processor offers a clear path to fit a million qubits on a single chip that can fit in the palm of one’s hand.
