With the release of its new Majorana 2 chip, Microsoft claims agentic AI has dramatically accelerated its timeline to scale a commercial-grade quantum computer.

Microsoft Corp. has announced an updated chip for quantum computing called Majorana 2 that’s said to be 1,000-times more reliable in terms of qubit stability. According to the company, it opens the door to a much faster path towards building commercially viable quantum computers.

Quantum computers are coming. Or, at least, that's what current predictions say. These machines harness the power of quantum mechanics, the set of rules governing how physics operates at atomic and sub-atomic scales.

Practical quantum computers, once thought to be decades away, now appear to be much closer than anticipated, thanks to the work of researchers at Caltech and ETH Zurich. Quantum computers are creating huge ripples in the scientific and tech communities ...

A new room-temperature quantum device uses twisted light to entangle photons and electrons, overcoming one of the biggest hurdles in quantum technology. The breakthrough could pave the way for smaller, cheaper quantum systems with applications ranging from ...

Microsoft’s announcement of a new quantum computing breakthrough with its Majorana 2 chip continues a trend of bold claims followed by scant evidence Microsoft claimed today that it has improved its quantum technology by an extraordinary factor.

In the corporate bond market, customer inquiries are priced in a competitive bidding process using computer models and classical algorithms. This process is complicated and must incorporate real-time market conditions, risk estimates, and other factors.
