Majorana 2 is Microsoft's newest quantum chip, introduced at Microsoft Build 2026 as a major milestone in the company's quantum computing roadmap. The Majorana 2 quantum chip is designed to advance ...

Scientists have discovered the cause of a persistent glitch that continues to disrupt superconducting quantum computers, even when they have built-in defenses. For all their advanced hardware, ...

Quantum computing, once only a theoretical possibility, promises to deliver faster, more energy-efficient computers – but only if scientists can build and scale the hardware needed to run the machines ...

Microsoft's Majorana 2 in 2026 is 1,000 times more reliable than its predecessor, thanks to AI. Here is why the 2029 goal for quantum computers is now reachable.

John Martinis is a hardware guy. He prefers the nitty-gritty of doing physics in the lab over the idealised world of textbooks. But you couldn’t write the quantum computing history books without him: ...
