Satya Nadella unveils Microsoft’s palm-sized ‘God chip’ that is more powerful than all the computers on Earth combined
Microsoft has announced the launch of Majorana 1, a quantum chip that could significantly accelerate the development of practical quantum computing. The company claims it is the world’s first quantum processing unit built on a topological core, powered by a newly discovered state of matter.

CEO Satya Nadella shared his excitement on X (formerly Twitter), stating, «Most of us grew up learning there are three main types of matter that matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Today, that changed.» He explained that the discovery was made possible through topoconductors, a new class of materials that could lead to quantum computers that are faster, more reliable, and significantly smaller than current models.
What Makes Majorana 1 Different?
Quantum computing has long been held back by a fundamental challenge: qubits, the building blocks of quantum computers, are highly unstable. They require extreme conditions, such as near-absolute-zero temperatures, to function reliably. Even then, errors are common.
Microsoft believes it has found a way to overcome these limitations. The company’s new approach, based on topoconductors, creates a more stable foundation for qubits, allowing them to function with greater accuracy. In a press release, Microsoft claimed, «This is a needed threshold for quantum computers to deliver transformative, real-world solutions — such as
