- 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.— Microsoft (from a press release about the Majorana-1 processor)
