Summary

Microsoft just dropped a quantum computing bombshell with their new Majorana Two chip—1,000x more reliable than its predecessor, with qubits now stable for 20 seconds (up from milliseconds). While still tiny at just 12 qubits, this leap could pave the way for real-world business solutions by 2029. Built on Microsoft’s decades-long topological quantum rese…

Microsoft just dropped a quantum computing bombshell with their new Majorana Two chip—1,000x more reliable than its predecessor, with qubits now stable for 20 seconds (up from milliseconds). While still tiny at just 12 qubits, this leap could pave the way for real-world business solutions by 2029. Built on Microsoft’s decades-long topological quantum research (dating back to 1930s theories), the chip swaps aluminum for lead as a superconductor and uses AI to accelerate progress—though core break
