New Delhi, June 3 -- Microsoft's latest quantum computing update is more than another chip announcement. With Majorana 2, the company is trying to show that the race toward practical quantum computing may move faster when advanced hardware meets agentic AI.

Majorana 2 is built around topological qubits, a type of qubit designed to be more stable and less vulnerable to errors than many conventional quantum systems. Stability matters because quantum computers are extremely sensitive to noise, temperature changes, and tiny environmental disturbances. Even small errors can make calculations unreliable. Microsoft says Majorana 2 improves qubit reliability significantly compared with its earlier work, which could bring the industry closer to s...
