Several physicists say the lack of a peer-reviewed, detailed paper on Microsoft's work undermines its claims. The tech community is also skeptical.

Researchers have criticised Microsoft's new Majorana 1 quantum computer, saying it has made claims about the way it works that aren't fully backed up by scientific evidence

Analysis pokes holes in protocol that underpins Microsoft’s claim to have created the first topological qubits.

Major technological breakthroughs can, over time, create trillions in shareholder value. Quantum computing looks like one such possible opportunity, and Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI) might be a good way to gain exposure to it. Quantum computing involves creating machines that process data in an entirely different way than traditional computers.

Microsoft, Amazon, and Google each announced new prototypes of quantum computing chips, but scientists say that the field is still evolving.

With recent announcements of new quantum computing advancements, Microsoft, Amazon and Google have set a new countdown clock ticking on today’s encryption — now an even shorter race than expected.
