#2 - Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT)
As you would expect, Alphabet isn’t the only tech giant vying for dominance in the quantum chip race. That brings us to Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT). In February 2025, the company introduced its Majorana 1 quantum chip, marking a significant leap forward in quantum computing.
Microsoft views the Majorana chip’s competitive advantage as coming from its new Topological Core architecture, which leverages the world’s first topconductor—a revolutionary material capable of detecting and controlling Majorana particles. This innovation enables more stable and scalable qubits, addressing one of the biggest challenges in quantum computing.
In fact, Microsoft believes the Majorana chip sets the stage for developing quantum systems that can scale up to a million qubits. At that threshold, quantum computers can begin solving meaningful, industrial-scale problems. The company believes the Topological Core architecture will make that possible in years, not decades. It also positions Microsoft as a company capable of delivering a more refined quantum solution with a broad range of applications.
