Microsoft announced the creation of the first topological qubit, marking a significant milestone in quantum computing if the claim stands. While this achievement brings topological qubits to where traditional qubits were 20-30 years ago, Microsoft faces the challenge of proving their superior reliability to compete with more established approaches.
