Microsoft unveils next-generation quantum chip Majorana 2, targets commercial quantum computers by 2029

Microsoft has unveiled its next-generation topological quantum chip, Majorana 2, and set a goal of building a scalable quantum computer with commercial value by 2029. The company said development automation using artificial intelligence has brought forward the timeline for commercialisation significantly from prior expectations. It said Majorana 2 improves qubit reliability by about 1,000 times and can maintain quantum states for an average of 20 seconds and up to nearly 1 minute.

King\'s College London secures early access to Google\'s Willow quantum chip

A research team at Britain\'s King\'s College London has secured early access to Google\'s next-generation quantum chip, Willow. The team was named the first beneficiary of an early-access programme run by Google\'s Quantum AI organisation and the UK\'s National Quantum Computing Centre. Led by physicist Eleanor Crane, the group plans to use Willow to model quantum analogues of brain neurons, aiming to link computational neuroscience with quantum-correspondence modelling.
