Microsoft has unveiled its first quantum computing chip, Majorana1, and a generative AI tool, Muse, for creating game scenes. Majorana1 integrates 8 quantum bits and aims to accommodate 1 million quantum bits in the future. It is currently mainly used to solve mathematical problems to verify its controllability, but is considered the foundation of future quantum computers. The research results of the "topological conductor" technology have been published in Nature. Microsoft believes it is only a few years away from achieving true quantum computing. Compared with other quantum computing methods, Majorana quantum bits are more stable and resistant to interference. Microsoft will not commercialize the chip at present, but focus on research and cooperate with national laboratories and universities. Muse AI tool is used to create game scenes, which can understand and generate complex game sequences. It is trained based on seven years of Xbox player operation data. Unlike AI models that rely on text or images, Muse can understand interactions in three-dimensional space. It can generate complex scenes that comply with physical laws within one second based on one second of game footage. There are still limitations in resolution and model size speed. Analysts believe that quantum computing may not become an independent computing field, but will enhance Microsoft's other businesses, such as artificial intelligence. Quantum computers can generate data for training AI models, thus promoting progress in fields such as new drug development. Although quantum computing is still in the early research stage, its development speed and potential are huge, which may have a profound impact on technology and economy in the future.
