Microsoft announces Majorana 2 quantum computing chip; practical system targeted for 2029
Microsoft unveiled the Majorana 2 quantum computing chip architecture, claiming it will deliver a practical, fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2029, advancing topological qubit technology.
The announcement signals Microsoft's push to move quantum from lab prototypes to production systems. Majorana 2 builds on Microsoft's topological approach, which avoids some error-rate challenges in superconducting designs.
