Microsoft Launches Its Majorana 1 Quantum Computing Chip. Is It the Best Quantum Computing Stock to Buy Now?

The artificial intelligence (AI) arms race has yet to wrap up, but big tech is already starting a new one: the quantum computing arms race. Several big tech companies have seen the raw computing power required to create these cutting-edge AI models, and it's clear that classical computing will work, but quantum computing is starting to become feasible for similar price points.As a result, many top computing companies are announcing various breakthroughs in the quantum computing field, with Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) being the latest to do so. It announced its Majorana 1 quantum chip on Feb. 19, and this announcement positions Microsoft well in the quantum computing race.Quantum computing is far more powerful than traditional computing because of how it stores information. Classical computing stores information as 1s or 0s, but quantum computing stores information in a superposition between 1 and 0. This allows the technology to store much more information per qubit (the basic quantum computing information units) versus a bit (classical computing information unit).Continue readingWeiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei MotleyFool Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei MotleyFool
