Microsoft Doubles Down On Unproven Quantum Tech, Sets 3-Year Target

Microsoft accelerated its quantum computing roadmap, targeting commercial delivery by 2029 with its Majorana 2 chip featuring improved qubit stability using lead-based superconductors. However, the physics community remains skeptical, with critics questioning whether Microsoft has demonstrated functional topological qubits and arguing the company's reliance on unpublished data and past unverified claims has damaged credibility in the field.
