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.

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 ...

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 ...

The US Department of Commerce is awarding $2 billion in grants to American quantum-computing companies, half of which will go to IBM, in a bid to bolster the buildout of super computers that could solve some of the world’s most pressing problems.

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.

Honeycombs are famous for their elegant design, but now they may have found a new application: quantum computing. To collect knowledge from subatomic particles, quantum computers require carefully designed materials capable of performing necessary,
