It was hoped that non-Abelion anyons could be used to build a quantum computer system that doesn't need error correction to function. In 2015, Microsoft published a description of abelian processors suitable for calculations in quantum systems. Microsoft published the thinking behind its topological quantum computer in 2007 the tech uses quasiparticles called non-Abelian anyons, which at the time existed only in theory. Microsoft has also hired notable academics to solve challenges in physics to create topological quantum computers.Īt the same time, Microsoft's venture capital arm is backing faster approaches to quantum by funding companies like PsiQuantum, which hopes to get an error-corrected system the size of a datacenter up and running in the coming years. One is to build futuristic quantum computers based on quasiparticles that have existed in theory. The IT goliath is taking multiple approaches to quantum computing.

Microsoft also said its topological qubit breakthrough is the next step to creating a million-qubit quantum computer, a milestone many agree is a minimum spec needed to solve large-scale problems not possible on classical computers today.
