There's a fundamental problem with Microsoft's quantum chips.

Microsoft announced its second-generation quantum chip, Majorana 2. However, the experts considered that Microsoft quantum chips lacked a solid research base and were simply not feasible. Microsoft announced its first generation quantum calculator chip, Majorana 1, at the beginning of 2025, using what it called a porcelain to observe and control the Mayolana particles, thus producing a more reliable and scalable quantum bit. The first generation of porcelains, using arsenic lumber semiconductors and aluminium superconductors, resulted in the second generation of Microsoft being replaced by lead superconductors, claiming that the life of quantum bits was extended from 20 seconds to 1 minute. Scientists are highly sceptical about Microsoft's claims, and its latest paper advance has not yet been peer-reviewed, and physicist Henry Legg believes that the data in the preprint are randomly false. The last advance version of Microsoft has so far not been peer-reviewed and is likely to have been rejected by the leading journals.
