<p>Microsoft on Thursday announced its roadmap for building its own quantum supercomputer, using the topological qubits the company’s researchers have been working on for quite a few years now.</p>

<p>There are still plenty of intermediary milestones to be reached, but Krysta Svore, Microsoft’s Vice President&nbsp;of advanced quantum development, told Techcrunch portal&nbsp;that the company believes that it will take fewer than 10 years to build a quantum supercomputer using the qubits that will be able to perform a reliable one million quantum operations per second.</p>

<p>This is reportedly a new measurement Microsoft is introducing as the overall industry aims to move beyond the current era of Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) computing.</p>

<p>"We think about our roadmap and the time to the quantum supercomputer in terms of years rather than decades," Svore was quoted as saying by Techcrunch.</p>

<p>In 2022, Microsoft announced a major breakthrough when its team first highlighted its ability to create Majorana-based qubits.</p>

<p>Majorana qubits have the advantage of being very stable&nbsp;compared to traditional techniques but are technologically deemed extremely difficult to create.</p>
