Microsoft reveals Majorana 2 with a 1,000x qubit reliability boost
Microsoft just unveiled its Majorana 2 scalable quantum processor, using an AI-designed material stack to make topological qubits over 1,000 times more reliable than before. Qubit lifetimes jumped from milliseconds to a mean of 20 seconds. Why it matters: The breakthrough cut Microsoft's roadmap in half, targeting a fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2029.
