Microsoft, Quantum Computing and a breakthrough

Microsoft Unveils Majorana 1: A Quantum Computing Breakthrough
Microsoft has introduced Majorana 1, a quantum chip with a "Topological Core" architecture, potentially enabling powerful quantum computers within years instead of decades. The breakthrough stems from a newly developed material called a topoconductor,
Microsoft under fire for claiming it has a new quantum computer
Researchers have criticised Microsoft's new Majorana 1 quantum computer, saying the company has made claims about the way it works that aren't fully backed up by scientific evidence
Microsoft quantum breakthrough claims labeled 'unreliable' and 'essentially fraudulent'
Redmond’s quantum claims were made in February when it announed its in-house boffins had created "the world’s first topoconductor, a breakthrough type of material which can observe and control Majorana particles to produce more reliable and scalable qubits, which are the building blocks for quantum computers."
'This is essentially a fraudulent project': Some scientists are firing shots at Microsoft's recent quantum computing claims
To the best of my woefully scientifically underequipped knowledge, Microsoft's new quantum chip supposedly uses Majorana fermions, a kind of theorised and apparently newly discovered emergent particle that's indistinguishable from its antiparticle, a fact that is supposed to help improve qubit stability.
Scientists Question Microsoft's Quantum Computing 'Breakthrough'
Several physicists say the lack of a peer-reviewed, detailed paper on Microsoft's work undermines its claims. The tech community is also skeptical.
