The rush for quantum computing gold took on a whole new light today as Microsoft (MSFT) announced the arrival of the Majorana 1 chip, a

Microsoft on Wednesday announced Majorana 1, its first quantum computing chip. The achievement comes after the company has spent nearly two decades of research in the field. Technologists believe quantum computers could one day efficiently solve problems that would be taxing if not impossible for classical computers.

Microsoft’s Majorana 1 just changed the quantum game. Could this breakthrough bring us closer to singularity faster than we thought?
