Microsoft has unveiled its latest topological quantum chip, Majorana 2. With this iteration, the Redmond giant has achieved a 1,000x improvement in reliability over the prior Majorana 1, which the company unveiled last year. Originally, the firm was planning to achieve practical quantum computing by 2035, but its latest work drastically shrinks this timeframe so that a scalable, commercial quantum computer is expected by 2029. Majorana 2s qubits claim to maintain their quantum state for 1,000...
