Denmark's plans for a new quantum computer, Magne, will include a record-breaking 50 logical qubits and more than 1,200 ...

A logo of Microsoft is displayed. (Dita Alangkara/AP) On Wednesday Microsoft announced a breakthrough, calling it a major step forward in the pursuit of an effective quantum computer.

Microsoft on Wednesday announced Majorana 1, its first quantum computing chip. The achievement comes after the company has spent nearly two decades of research in the field. Technologists believe ...

Microsoft says it has developed a breakthrough quantum processor based on a new state of matter, giving it a clear path to achieve quantum computing’s long-term promise of solving some of the ...

This, the two companies say, has now moved the state-of-the-art of quantum computing out of what has typically been dubbed the era of noisy intermediate scale quantum (NISQ) computers.

Microsoft offers such a service on Azure Quantum, at a cost of $500 per hour if you're running a simulation for more than 1,000 hours. Computing Guides Laptops ...

In 2018, in Barron's magazine, Microsoft's quantum team told the paper that the company would have a topological qubit ready by the end of that year. In a sense, the Majorana 1 is seven years late.

Researchers will be able to get a taste of Microsoft's reliable quantum computing via Azure Quantum Elements in the next few months, where it will be available as a private preview.

Despite the focus on research, investors are fascinated by quantum. IonQ shares went up 237% in 2024, and Rigetti gained nearly 1,500%. The two generated a combined $14.8 million in third-quarter ...
